Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 9:05 P.M. I chatted with a Dutch relative who is an expert on tulips. I was told by the relative that the tulips with the pointed petals are also called parrot tulips. I was thinking today that one regular Greenwich Library user was related to Charlemagne and was a member of the Knights of Malta. It got me to thinking there should be an order of the Knights of Nantucket www.nantucket.net . Well not much happening downtown in Greenwich as far as I can tell, but with the warmer weather people are now more visible. I even saw quite a few people from India today. However, once when I flew into J.F.K. airport in New York City from Tobago during the first week of May in 1971, when I was coming back from Tobago on BWIA, there was six inches of fresh snow on the ground, so we can still get colder weather this time of year. One generally does not plant one's tomatoes here until after Mother's Day. We probably are seeing a few Canadians come north from down south, since they are use to cooler weather. If one is driving up the Atlantic Coast from Florida, one can always stop by St Augustine Florida and Middleton Place, Charleston S.C. and Colonial Williamsburg Official History Site and Old Sturbridge Village . However, around the second week of May 2011 at Holland Michigan , there is Tulip Time Festival | May 7-14 2011 , and after that some people go further north to Greetings from Mackinac Island, Michigan . Thus there is a lot to do in the north country, once it warms up a bit. CIO Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 7:50 P.M. Biltmore Email Newsletter about tulips I was told by a relative that the red tulips with the pointed petals are called Rembrandt tulips or French tulips. Are You Our Star?

I reheated and ate the chili and rice mixture from last night, which I ate with a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance spread and a glass of watered down punch. Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 6:45 P.M. After the last note, the primary work computer quit working. When I tried to start it, it would stop at the memory check. I finally opened up the CPU case, and I reseated the memory, and that seemed to have fixed the problem. I also push on the hard drive power cables to make sure they were firmly attached. I chatted with a relative. On the Epox computer on the oak dining table, it is difficult to start up, but it does start up and work. One has to turn on all of the switches on the power control center. Then one presses the Epox computer CPU button, and nothing happens. Then one turns off the CPU power control switch, and then one presses the CPU power button, and nothing still happens. Then one turns on the CPU switch on the power control panel with all of the other power control switches still turned on, and this time when one presses the Epox computer CPU power button, it will turn on. I can not figure out why it works that way. I have tried changing the motherboard to power switch cables around, and that did not make a difference. It was not always like that, but for some reason it is that way now. I have not used the Epox computer too much over the years and like the Abit computer, they both have older used hard drives salvaged out of the primary work computer and the FIC server. CIO Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 4:45 P.M. I went out after the last note. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown to Greenwich Avenue to CVS. I picked up a prescription. I bought eight 5 ounce cans of Libby's Vienna sausages for 50 cents each for $4 total. I used the bathroom at CVS. I then went further downtown. The tulips are out at veterans monument across the street from the senior and the arts center. They are red with pointed petals. I went by Lexus of Greenwich - Greenwich CT - New & Used Lexus Dealer . They have a silver RX350 SUV in the window like a relative just bought recently. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I stopped by CVS again, and I bought a 120 count bottle of CVS low dose 81 mg. aspirin for $5.89 and a second one for half price for $2.94 for $8.83 total. I then finished my walk. I chatted with a local writer during my walk. I then went by the Greenwich Library. I chatted with one of the library staff. I looked at the used books for sale downstairs in the concession area. I chatted with someone from California driving a vintage copper color Chevrolet station wagon. I gave him a calling card. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I chatted with someone from Poland about the internet. I gave him a calling card. I bought a 5 ounce jar of Gold's hot horseradish for $1.50, a 10 ounce bottle of Kikkoman soy sauce for $2.29, and a seven pound whole top round of beef eye round for $2.99 a pound for $20.93 for $25.57 total. I then returned home. I picked up the mail. I put away my groceries. Tomorrow, I will cook half of the eye round and freeze the other half. I checked my prescription, and I only got half the number of pills. I called them up, and they told me to come back downtown to get the other half. I ran into another Taft School alumnus whom I had not seen in a while, and I chatted with him. I picked up the other half of my prescription. I then returned home. Now that it is warmer, it seems to be busier downtown. CIO Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 11:05 A.M. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the broken Konica Minolta PagePro 1250w laser printer. I left it by the dumpster for parts with a note that it is broken beyond repair. I put the new Town of Greenwich Beach Parking permit on the inside of the lower driver's side windshield of the Audi. I took out the old sticker. I will now go downtown for some errands. CIO Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 10:00 A.M. I woke up at 8:30 A.M.. On the primary work computer, I did a Complete PC backup of both partitions from the first hard drive to the third hard drive. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I had another computer magazine telephone call. For the last year, whenever computer magazines call up which is frequently particularly in the daytime waking me up, I have been canceling them. Whenever one subscribes to free computer magazines, they keep calling one up to do surveys, so they are not really worth subscribing to, unless one wants to be bothered all of the time. CIO Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 3:40 A.M. I finished the bedroom Abit computer backup to the Seagate external hard drive. I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. I will eat a few day old muffin before going to bed. Mostly sunny today and 63 to 43 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO Note: <888> 04/14/11 Thursday 3:15 A.M. I had to restore the backup on the bedroom Abit computer, because the audio would not work. I then installed all of the updates. I then did a backup to the second internal hard drive, and I am now doing a backup to the Seagate external hard drive. Since I never use the bedroom Abit computer, I can not figure out why the sound malfunctioned, but it did. Everything is fine on it now, and the audio works just fine with the new speakers.

I rested until 9:15 P.M.. I did wake up, and I ate a few day old muffin. I also chatted with a relative. I am just about ready to eat chili with rice and a glass of watered down punch. CIO Note: <888> 04/13/11 Wednesday 11:35 A.M.

I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will take a nap for a while. CIO Note: <888> 04/13/11 Wednesday 10:40 A.M. One of the more popular restaurants on Greenwich Avenue I have noticed recently is Morello Italian Bistro - Greenwich USA , however for hungry people like myself, a New York strip steak is $32 which is a bit expensive. I chatted with a relative wishing the relative Happy Birthday. CIO Note: <888> 04/13/11 Wednesday 10:25 A.M. I installed all of the Windows Updates on all of the computers in the apartment. I got a 8 inch by 10 inch photo from the George H.W. Bush library George Bush Presidential Library and Museum of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. I put it in a Plexiglas frame, and I hung it on the back side of the apartment entrance door above the mirror. CIO Note: <888> 04/13/11 Wednesday 7:45 A.M.

I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the garbage. www.stopandshop.com made a early morning delivery to a neighbor. I picked up yesterday's mail. My old Greenwich, Connecticut beach pass has been renewed until 2013. I got a new Beach Pass Parking permit. Its number is 11-00088. I will put it in the Audi window on a dry day. Alas the fuel to drive all of the way over to Tod's Point is way too expensive for me anymore. I could try going to the Byram Shore park, which is much smaller without much room to hike around or the Island Beach Ferry, but I think there might be a charge for the Island Beach ferry, and there is no place to go to the bathroom on the Island Beach Ferry for those in need. CIO Note: <888> 04/13/11 Wednesday 5:35 A.M. Happy Birthday to a relative. I rested after the last note until noon. I watched a movie. I chatted with a relative. I watched another movie. I ate a 15 ounce can of CVS spaghetti and meatballs with a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance Spread and a glass of watered down punch. I chatted with a relative. I went back to bed about 6:30 P.M.. I woke up at 4 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. Since I have low blood pressure, rainy days tend to make me more tired. CIO Note: <888> 04/12/11 Tuesday 9:00 A.M. I read a little bit. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go back to bed. Light rain today and 58 to 44 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO Note: <888> 04/12/11 Tuesday 8:00 A.M.

I washed the breakfast dishes. I made up a fresh batch of punch. I made my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the shipping boxes and the garbage. The lights in the parking lot are now working at night at 71 Vinci Drive. I picked up the mail. Although, I am about the only one awake in this area right now, there are a billion people awake at this hour in Western Europe, so they are creating situations that the people here will have to deal with once they wake up. CIO Note: <888> 04/12/11 Tuesday 1:30 A.M. After the last note, the order with tracking of UPS: Tracking Information on the order for Konica Minolta PagePro 1250W Cam Shaft, Genuine (B6859) for $6.95 and $9 UPS shipping for $15.95 total arrived. I was able to install it on the lower left side of the roller bar at the bottom of Konica Minolta PagePro 1250w laser printer. However, the nylon gear wheel that it fit into on the left side has broken gear teeth, so the laser printer still does not work. The nylon gear wheel is not replaceable. I will throw out the laser printer for parts, when I have time. This all took some time. It was hot in the apartment, so I opened the living room windows, and I started the fans. I ate a few day old muffin. I finally went to bed at 6:30 P.M.. I woke up, and I ate a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance Spread. I finally woke up at 1 A.M..

CIO Note: <888> 04/11/11 Monday 7:30 A.M. I washed the breakfast dishes a little while ago. Also in Decatur, Alabama as a youth I also made pot holder out of cloth loops, and one could loop six or eight of them together into a place mat. We also painted ceramics and fired them in a kiln. I also had a garden with tomatoes, wax beans, and Swiss chard. I also kept busy cutting the grass and trimming the cherry laurel hedges. Of course I also went to elementary school down there studying the history of the American Indians in the southeast. We once learned when the Spanish explorer Desoto arrived in Alabama, he took one of the Indian chiefs young sons hostage thinking that there were not many Indians around, and when we explored the site of the massacre, there were millions of Indian arrow heads around. We also road horse back for $5 an hour. I also went to Lookout Mountain camp for two summers. I also played golf regularly at the Decatur Country Club. I also dived for golf balls at the pond on the Decatur Country Club golf course which was profitable. My father was the plant manager for the Monsanto Chemstrand acrilan synthetic fiber manufacturing facility thus he could use the company jet and company limousine and the company guest house, so we were fairly established by southern standards, but I guess the locals thought we were carpet baggers. I was one four yankees out of 200 campers at the Lookout Mountain Camp, so they do keep track of yankees down south. I also had a job feeding my father's boss's daughter's horses which was dangerous, when the horses would try to trample one. We never made any money off the petrified dinosaur eggs we found in the ditch of the Walter Jackson elementary school in our neigborhood. I would also water the bushes around the property. Four O'clock bushes do open up and flower at 4 P.M.. CIO Note: <888> 04/11/11 Monday 6:50 A.M. When I built the garage apartment out in Plandome Manor, Long Island back in 1982 and 1983, the youngest granddaughter of the household was the first European to go to work for China Airlines as a flight attendant, thus I feel like I have been cheap labor for the Chinese ever sense. Of course George H.W. Bush was the first U.S. ambassador to China and back in Decatur, Alabama back from 1955 to 1961 besides the omnipresent Japanese from Mitsubishi, there were a few Chinese that nobody seemed to notice and a few people associated with Claire Lee Chennault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . At our house at 1920 Stratford Road in Decatur, Alabama my first business was a Kool Aid stand, and once I was digging a hole to plant a new azalea bush, and my neighbors commented that I was digging a hole to China, so I branched out into the China trade. Of course the Scott family from Illinois have been selling soy beans to the Chinese for generations, so we have long term contacts with the Chinese. I read recently that eating tofu is good for longevity, but I think the Chinese also use soy sauce. Of course a lot of soy beans come from Brazil, so the farmers in the Midwest now have competition from the Brazilian soy bean farmers. I have never been to Asia, but I have been to the Kaanapali Beach Maui Resorts- Maui Hawaii Resort- Lahaina Hotel- Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa in Maui where I saw a lot of Asian guests and Chinese art. In fact back in the summer of 1980, when George H.W. Bush got the vice president ticket for the republican party, I left the tennis court in Kennebunkport, where I was observing them, and I showed up in Maui, in August 1980. During that period, there was also a hurricane Houston, Texas. The American District Attorneys and the American Judicial Association were having a conference at the Hyatt in Maui, so I had ample legal representation. CIO Note: <888> 04/11/11 Monday 5:55 A.M.

CIO Note: <888> 04/11/11 Monday 4:30 A.M. Yesterday two of the tulips were out in bloom at the veterans monument across the street from the senior and the arts center, so probably by next weekend, they will all be out. Another classmate at the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut in my class of 1968 was Woody Chase. His father was in the State Department in Lebanon. Thus if his family still owns stock in www.chase.com , they might have a penny or two. The Chase Bank which is hooked up with J.P. Morgan supposedly manages $6 trillion in assets. I was told Jimmy Diamond is of Greek heritage, so possibly when in Greenwich, he eats at the Greek diner across the street from the Y.M.C.A.. CIO Note: <888> 04/11/11 Monday 3:55 A.M. I woke up at midnight. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I watched a program about Ulysses S. Grant on www.pbs.org Public television. I guess the Civil War was a bloody affair. I went back to bed until 3:15 A.M..
