Define “This Afternoon”

So I called the repair place to see what’s up with my mower. I was starting to think maybe they forgot about it, and I’m still not convinced they didn’t.

“That will be ready this afternoon.”

“Okay, so when can I pick it up?”

“There’s no hurry on that, it will be ready this afternoon. Any time. Tomorrow is fine.”

“Right, but you’ve had it for 2 weeks and I need to mow my lawn, so can I pick it up today or tomorrow?”

“Any time after this afternoon.”

“So, what time would be okay?”

“This afternoon or tomorrow is fine.”

I’m Busy That Day

Oh hey, ya, I’m not still walking. Didn’t want to confuse anyone. Although if I were, it’s almost 24 hours later so I could be headed for the Berkshires, I suppose. I’m not one for doing Marathon walks unless they occur at, say, Epcot. I’m sure the stats are out there, but it’s got to be a mile from one end of that park to the other. If someone wants to pay for it, I’d be happy to go back with a pedometer and measure it for you.

Got a call yesterday from my doctor’s office. Apparently they were starting to book the 2004 physicals, and Junior was on the wait list for an appointment (i.e. after they got the 2004 book). So she asks if February 2nd is good.

“I think so”.

“Do you want morning or afternoon?”

“Uh, either is fine.”

Ya, cause I think I might already have something planned for that day. (Actually, it’s my step-son’s birthday, but other than that, I can probably squeeze in a physical.) I should have said “Oh, you know, that isn’t going to work for me” but the other problem is that every year his physical gets further and further away from his actual birthday, which they do because of insurance limitations. I need to see if our insurance is per calendar year, because if it is, we have an appointment a month earlier…

Testing New Browser

I just downloaded Mozilla’s beta release of Firebird and I’m giving it a test fly. Actually, I think it rocks and I’ll probably make it my default browser if after a week I don’t have any major issues with all my regular sites.

Oh, and the sun just came out so I’m going to go for a walk. Hold down the fort, okay?
