Today was book club. It was nice to see everyone in the book club again. I am starting to make some good friendships with this group of people. We meet at the same local coffee shop. I have been so busy that I barely finished the book in time. It didn't help that the book was really big. This month, we read "11/22/63" by Stephen King. It surprises me how many people don't realize that Stephen King doesn't just write horror books. This book is a great example.

This book is a time travel/sci-fi novel. The book takes place in the modern time when someone finds a portal back to 1958. After a little experimentation, this person finds out that if they make any change to the timeline, they can use the portal to go forward to see the results. Then they can go back through the portal to 1958 to reset their changes. For some reason, the person becomes obsessed with preventing JFK's assassination. 

After many different tries, he finally succeeded, only to find the results less than desirable. Overall, it was a pretty good book and the ending was good (something I cannot say about all his books). It was a good book exploring the "What if JFK had lived" scenario. 

Cheers for now.

  Today I met up with Maria for some pickle ball. Neither of us is very good at it but we had a lot of fun. We started by just playing the two of us, but after a while, an older couple asked if we wanted to play against them. I think they didn't have a court reserved and wanted to play. Neither Maria nor myself had an issue so we said yes. They were pretty good and gave us some great tips and pointers.  After our match, Maria and I headed to a little cafe where we had lunch and talked. After that, I went home and worked on housework.  Cheers for now.

      Today was my last round of dealing with the auditors. Today it was the procurement team. Again, they went over every penny and every day off that was taken. I don't know what they are looking for but if they don't find it, it won't because they didn't look hard enough for it. I am glad I am done with the audit. I spent the rest of the day getting as much done and getting ready for me being on vacation next week.   I talked with my sister tonight. We are both excited for my visit to New York City on Saturday. We plan on doing all the tourist thing and eating way too much good food.    Cheers for now.

  I was glad I had no meeting today as it allowed me to get a lot of work done. I managed to get all the proposal reviews done and presentations scheduled, I also got a lot of work done on my end-of-month reports. I did read in an email that our division HR Manager is leaving. I am sad to see her go. I called her and she told me that she got an offer for an HR Manager with another company in town and she said the pay was really good. It will be sad to see her go but I wished her the best and told her we needed to stay in touch.   After work, I got a call from my mom and dad. They had heard about Lee and wanted to make sure I was okay. Apparently, when it comes to my love life, there are no secrets.  My dad offered for him and Uncle Bob to come to town and "re-arrange the guy's face." I smiled and said that would not be necessary, that I had it handled and would be fine. My mom gave me some advice on how to deal with a bad break-up. I asked her if s...
