What else did I do then

HBS, Seidel's Cobol doc'n,

Organizing my finances,

Studying tech'l stock analysis,

Managing IBM Cobol

Studying stock market more

Designing Personal Accountant

Out of each of these came some successes + some failures, that is, some usefulness + some wasted time.

But since 7/84 I have spent

Pers Acct 6 months

Works 18 months

Programming. That's 24 months out of the past 39, with the other time going to usage of Pers Acct, transition into Works, learning AT + EGA, and shaping Works.

NOW IT'S TIME TO CUT OUT OF APPS, UNTIL I HAVE MORE TO CONTRIBUTE.

9:45 Read Chap XV of Mask of Apollo.

10:45 To bed.

THURS OCT 8 '87

7:45 Wake up, but feel a little lazy so sleep on a bit

8:00 Getup. Shower, etc. Very foggy outside.

Looks like it's getting foggier, yet.

Will the ferries be runing? Maybe

It's better to skip breakfast and try for 9:25 ferry, after I heard that they're running, but at half-speed. But that would mean getting into high gear too fast.

I was in a very strange state of mind.

I sort of wanted to get back to work.

Perhaps it was

the fog

the lack of a tasteful, comfortable room

the day after a very special day

But I really didn't know what to do.

I decided to take it easy and have breakfast (pancakes), return to room, misc, checkout since I definitely wanted to be on my way

I thought maybe if ferries are going half-speed then I could catch the 9:25 late
