wore Pandors Pegs Harness and my own orange/black punk wig and danced with the four Cathy Clones (Ken Kaleel was one) and with John Goodman (Dan Donahues old beau) who I took home. And Saturday Nov 2 was the party at the Aquarium which I went to as a diver with green seaweed and a lavender eel. Carol Channing was there so we sang Hello Dolly as she descended the staircase. The next Saturday Nov 9 Bob and I went to Lucia De Lamermoor and then with Gary Vaughn briefly to Stop Making Sense at the Egyptian and then I took John home again with me. On Saturday Nov 16 I drove Bob and Gary to the Vashon Ferry which they missed so we had dinner in West Seattle and then I went shopping at Fredericks till midnite and dancing afterward at Neighbours. That makes Seattle seem like a really sophisticated city...

Also during the first half of the quarter I reviewed the piano lessons I had taken in 1982 and 1983. Then on Tuesday November 19 I began taking lessons from David Burns who recently moved back from San Diego.

Starting the second half of this quarter I put aside Wimp for awhile and decided that I felt that the SS/DB part of Works was important and I compared Excel and Mouseworks with the works spec to see if Works has everything I want/ I did this Mon Nov 18 through Wed morning and then Wed afternoon had a meeting with Tony Bill and Ed to discuss the spec. I was quite vocal during that meeting.

On Wed night I had felt that I wanted to stay at home and get accounting for depreciation and losses done. On Thurs morning it started to snow hard and it kept snowing hard all day so I had my excuse! It felt GREAT to stay home and get personal things done. I didnt go to work Friday either. Saturday and Sunday were also spent doing miscellaneous jobs and accounting except for brunch with Mom and Dad at Spinkers in Shilshole.

The next Monday I had to talk with the CBT group together with Tony. It felt strange for him to take the leading role in those discussions. After 10 years with Microsoft and 4 years recently in Bellvue one would think I would be off the bottom rung! On Tuesday Ed Bill Tony and I met to talk about reports and forms. Good meeting. (After piano lesson David and I went to Michaels for hottub; it snowed hard that night). And Wednesday (the last day before Thanksgiving break), all I did was put new Masm into system and Tony broached subject of managing testing which sounded good at the time.

Also that Wednesday Bill Gates offered to grant me 2000 shares over 4 years. Thats just 500 a year compared to the 30000 I already have. I can
