Toosday

Woke up to rain. Nice to listen to if you get to stay in bed, but I don't. Worse yet, its garbage day. So, got ready for work, then trudged through the rain out to the road with three bags of garbage.

I had a 3:00 to 4:00 PM meeting at our Building 50, which is two seconds from my house, so I told my boss if it ran until 4:00 or later, I was just going to go home, rather than drive all the way back, just to turn around again. He said, "Sure!" So, I got home about 4:20 PM (about 55 minutes early). Not really a lot earlier, but somehow it felt like a vacation day, as the rain had stopped around lunch and it was very warm. Took advantage of this summer-like day and toured my yard, checking things out, deciding what's next for Fall cleanup, etc. Very nice and relaxing...

Fried the eggplant for dinner. I was going to make a tempura batter, but didn't have any soda water in the house. So, to be a little different, I went with one cup of flour and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs (I make it with all bread crumbs for eggplant Parmesan, so its really crispy) Very good - not too crispy, but not just blah.

Tuesday night's the most active night of the week for my favorite TV shows (the cable DVDR box is set to tape 5 shows that night). So, I pick and choose which ones I want to watch that night, and view the others later. Last night I watched "NCIS" and "The Unit." Then read a bit and went to bed. Did not sleep well, however...
