Yesterday, a gal from Dun & Bradstreet took him and me out to lunch. We went to the Yard House and I had the BEST chicken rice bowl. I have no idea why it was so much better than most, but it was. I get to have the leftovers tonight.

Monday (actually early Tues. morning), I was woken up at 1:49am by someone crying rather hysterically. After listening for several minutes, I figured out it was the gal who lives in the apartment below me. By that time, the crying was starting to taper off, but I was very concerned. I didn�t know if it was just her crying that woke me up, or if perhaps she had screamed or what. It was obvious that this was no small issue, by the way she was crying. I debated calling the Police, even, but decided not to. Then, of course, I was extremely concerned that I should have and didn�t. For all I knew, someone had broken in to their place or her boyfriend/husband (whatever he is) was beating her up; I had no idea. Anyway, so I stopped by their place last night when I got home. I talked to the guy (Cody, I think) and he told me everything was OK and thanked me for my concern. I haven�t seen her, yet, though. For all I know he may have buried her under the building.

I�m joking, of course. He seems like a really nice guy and I�m sure it was just something personal. It was rather odd, though. Now I know they must have heard me the times I�ve woken up screaming (that�s happened a few times � usually I think there�s a man in the room. It�s getting much better than it was for a few years, there, but it still happens every once in a while).

I have been considering finding a church in my area to attend. I�ve found a few options and although I won�t be going this weekend, I�m going to go the following Sunday, I think. I guess I�ll just play �musical churches� until I find one I like. I�ve checked out a few web pages, too. Some seem cool, but a few things on the pages pissed me off (same reason churches always do � intolerance and the like). I don�t know � I�ll see. If I can find one I like, I don�t really see any reason I won�t go.

Regarding �Message Boards�, �Chat Rooms� and the like�

I find it extremely interesting that whenever you read message boards or enter a chat room, no matter what the topic is supposed to be, people always end up calling each other names and insulting each other. What the heck? Why is that? I hate to be cynical, but man, there are an awful lot of assholes in this world. I mean it�s bad enough that there are so many on the road, but at least they have the excuse of being stressed because they�re�well, on the road. But to go to a message board, say for underwater basket-weaving enthusiasts and persist in calling other posters �idiots� or whatever, just seems so odd to me. I don�t understand the venom.

Case in point: earthlinksucks.com. I read some message boards on that site and there are a few people who just went on there to tell others that they�re dumb-asses and idiots, etc. Same thing with classmates.com. It�s the same thing everywhere.

The older I get, the more the human race makes me want to vomit.
