I accidentally left my first Olympus D-320L digital camera on the Denver International Airport train when I got off at the B Concourse stop. It had two 4 MB and one 2 MB SmartMedia cards with the pictures of our trip up to the continental divide. I was running Tammy back to the airport for her flight back to Ohio. I had brought the camera to get a photo or two of the statue of astronaut Jack Swiggart.

My assignment out at Tele-Communications, Incorporated (TCI) in Devner, ended when TCI and AT&T merged. TCI is now under AT&T's Broadband service.

I worked for a week at Picatinny Arsenal near Whippany, New Jersey. I drove up to Crawford, a suburb of Newark to see the house from the third season of The Adventures of Pete and Pete.

August

1998-08

I started up in Detroit, Michigan once again at the DRMS project. This time I was under Education and Training and was working with Oracle Tutor. BarbB and ChuckW were two people I worked with who became good friends.

My first night there, I ended up watching the film Heavenly Creatures which became a small obsession of mine.

We bought a replacement Olympus D-320L digitial camera.

Also this month, Tammy and I made a trip to Kings Island. We took the replacement camera and shot the first pictures there. We hadn't been there since 1987.

I called HayleyR and told her that we'd been back in Ohio for a year and a day. I'd spoken to her once or twice and Tammy hadn't heard from her at all. I said that it was up to her if she wanted to have any kind of friendship with us.

Tammy's jaw nearly hit the floor.

(As of today, 2001-08-03 Friday, I've still not heard a word back from HayleyR.)

1998-09

There was a strike by Northwest pilots and for about 4 weeks, I rented a car and drove up to Detroit. It was enjoyable to listen to music on cassette in the car. I'd been listening to CDs on the laptop exclusively.


1998-09-01 Tuesday

Disney released its awful dubbed version of Kiki's Delivery Service (Majo no takkyubin). It was one of Phil Hartman's last works. As much as I enjoy his body of work, I didn't enjoy his performance as Kiki's cat Jiji.

We saw most of this back in San Antonio around 1991 on Ben Dunn's Public Access show Anime Review. He only had a half hour program and we caught and taped the last three parts of the show. It was not a very good copy, but it was letterboxed, in Japanese with English sub-titles. I wish that this would be released to DVD. It would probably be a good idea to get the widescreen, subtitled VHS version of this.
