Note:<888>04/13/01 Friday 4:10 A.M. EDT: On the Logitech cordless mouse, it some time gets sluggish like it has low batteries which is not the case. I usually try shutting down and rebooting with a corded mouse and then rebooting with the cordless mouse and removing and reinserting the batteries. This seems to readjust the frequency, so the mouse works properly. CIO

Note:<888>04/13/01 Friday 3:25 A.M. EDT: Since I had opened a bottle of white wine last night for the mushroom gravy, I had a glass with my dinner. It put me right to sleep until about 1:30 A.M.. I watched a bit of television. CIO

Note:<888>04/12/01 Thursday 6:15 A.M. EDT: I moved some moe furniture around. Basically when one moves one item or more in a small apartment, it is like a puzzle. I pushed the blue couch back about 8 inches from the wall. I moved the square Danish table in front of the left side of the day bed. I moved the long coffee table in front of the day bed. I switched the head boards around on the day bed, so the taller side does not block the TV. I put the magazine rack from the bedroom at the hallway end of the day bed. I then pushed the long green sofa about a foot closer to the day bed, so only one side of the coffee table has about a goot of space in front of it and the green floral sofa. I then pulled out the round oak dining table, and put it at the apartment entrance adjacent to the green sofa back. I put the desk against the window wall where the oak dining table was. I moved the computer setup further towards the outside wall along with the left speaker stack. I have room for the yellow french sitting chair in front of it still. I put the Queen Anne chair to the left of the left speaker stack at the kitchen entrance. I put the framed spider web above it. I put the Quail print in the kitchen entrance.

Note:<888>04/12/01 Thursday 2:20 A.M. EDT: I went for a walk, but first I drank coffee out of my thermos downtown. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then walked up to the top of the Avenue, and I sat out for a while. While I was just starting to walk down the Avenue, a bronze color sadan with three "8s" in its license plate and a bronze color sport coupe were at rest the traffic light east bound on West Putnam Avenue in front of outdoor traders. There was a loud sound of the two vehicles impacting rear to front. After a brief moment the front sdean took off and turned right into either Mason Street or the YMCA parking lot or street beyond. The front vehicle did not seem to have any rear end damage, but the rear sport coupe had moderate front damage to the lights, bumper and hood. It took off shortly there after where the other vehicle had turned off, so I guess they were traveling together. Neither driver exited their vehicle at the impact location. I looked at the impact location on the street and plastic lens fragments were on the street. I walked down the street and at the pay phone about seven minutes later in front of Saks, I called 911; and I told them what I had seen. I then walked down the Avenue, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue again. I then returned home. I saw a wrecker coming back on West Putnam Avenue with two other cars. At the entrance to Western Junior High Avenue, there was a police car blocking the street, and the officer told me, there had been a wreck. I was allowed to proceed to my street, Vinci Drive. I then had a slide of cake and ice tea. Well, I guess with the damp conditions, drivers should exercise caution on the roads. Also they are doing construction on the Arch Street railroad bridge at the busiest intersection in town at night. CIO

I then returned home, and I diced two medium onions and sauteed them in a large skillet with four tablespoons of olive oil and four pads of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" over medium high heat. Once the onions were lightly blanched, I added the box of fresh mushrooms sliced and stirred them with the onions. I mixed a cup of French white wine with the two McCormicks brown gravy seasoning packets and added it to the skillet and mixed it all. I then added to the skillet a half cup of milk, a tablespoon of Lea and Perrins worchestershire sauce, a ounce of Jack Daniels whiskey, three tablespoons of soy sauce, two teapoons of Sessime oil, a teaspoon of Angostora bitters, three beef bouillion cubes, dashes of nutmeg, ginger, garlic powder, ground black pepper, celery salt, basil, oregano, Italian spices, hot curry and Chinese five spice all to taste and chopped parsley along with several tablespoons of meat juice left with the eye round from last night.

I am cooking it with the layer of fat on top, so it drips down. I am cooking it at 350 degrees fareneheit in convection oven for one hour and fifteen minutes. I also put in a potato with it. It will be done in about 24 minutes. I will have some of it with steamed slice asperagus and ice tea and decaf instant coffee. CIO

Note:<888>04/10/01 Tuesday 10:45 A.M. EDT: I switched the long green couch with the day bed, so the day bed is against the interior wall and the long green couch is perpendicular to the blue sofa facing the entertainment wall. I pull out the desk a bit and moved the computer chair a bit, so there is room for a third person at the round oak dining table. I am bushed. Time for bed. CIO

Note:<888>04/10/01 Tuesday 5:25 A.M. EDT: I did some regular internet work. I decided to rearrange some furniture. First I took off the 18 year old pythos off the trunk behind the computer chair. I emptied the trunk of a broken Krups coffee pot and old air filter to be tossed. It also had a Scotchtape Binder and Polaroid Inge Retoff photographs. I put them in the bedroom closet, but first a filled the trunk with clothes too small for me now from the left side of the closet, and put the trunk on the left side of the bedroom closet with the old clothes in it. I then put the blue sofa in front of three fourths of the left day bed and one fourth in front of the round oak dining table. To the right of the blue sofa in a small opening to access the entertainment system and bar. I put the answering machine on the left side of the bar with the big button telephone.
