One of those boring, what-I-did-today posts ...

I woke up a little late and got to work a little late, but it was no big deal. It helped that I got a ton of my today work done yesterday.

Morning was chock-full of meetings. The morning news meeting to discuss the day's coverage. Then a senator and a government director and her staff came in to discuss the changes some new legislation will make to a government agency. Help.

After that I had to speed up to the university, where I was a guest speaker at a forum on smoking, to discuss how I was able to quit smoking and stay cigarette free (at least so far). Did some Q&A with interested students (amazingly enough).

Then it was back to the office, with a stopoff to pick up some lunch at one of my favorite coffee houses — a very nice ham and brie cheese sammich, on a french torpedo roll ... yummy-most!! Also had a couple of nice hot cups of tea to go with it, all of it taken back to the office. I like the way the building looks; I need to go back sometime on the weekend to get a better image of it.

Busted out a ton of work in a short time and finished early ... but had to stick around the office waiting to confirm some stuff and then do a minor rewrite.

This was the view on my way to the barber shop to get my head shaved — I'm glad I had my camera along. The razor treatment — he threw in a facial shave for free, along with a nice shoulder massage; God I love those! — was followed by a quick trip to the grocery store for dinner — steak and a nice bagged salad (with added tomatoes and mushrooms).

OK, time for me to get to work on some office stuff I brought home ... including my project plan for Jingle George's 2005 holiday extravaganza of tips, hints, tricks and advice!! Are ya'll as excited as me? Heh. And yes, I'm aware that I look a bit psychotic here. Gadzooks!

Random Guam Fact Of The Day:
• Guam has a higher smoking rate than any other part of the United States: 31.7 percent. The next highest rate is Kentucky, a tobacco-producing state, at 27.4 percent.

not sure what to attibute it to. It's not like the military population here is all that high, proportional to the general population.

guam's always just been a smoker-heavy place. up until the early 90s, you could still smoke inside most major stores here LOL
