01/28/16 Thursday 7:35 A.M.  I woke up at 7 A.M..  I am feeling a little bit better staying inside during the colder weather instead of exercise walking on Greenwich Avenue.  Still, one gets a bit of cabin fever.  In the old days or boredom in this area, I used to drive up to New Canaan and tour the Visiting Nurse Thrift Shop across the street from the downtown New Canaan fire house.  Smith Corona typewriters used to be headquartered in New Canaan.  One can also linger in the public libraries of New Canaan or Ridgefield which have a slower ambience than the Greenwich Library.  I never visit www.yale.edu which is not too far away, because there is now too much traffic in that direction.  It is not like the old days, when one could drive up there and find a parking place in front of the Sterling Library and munch on vending machine food in the basement while watching the students go about the merry business.  The Sterling Library was always full of Asian students on weekends, when the American students were engaged in other activities.  We probably still have students investigating our area while they pursue their educational progress.  This time of year, anyone can drive out to the wilds of Tod's Point beach in Old Greenwich without a beach pass.  When Yale students visit New York City, they are not too street wise unlike the local students in the City.  One can always reread "Catcher in the Rye".  Of course a lot of the international students might not have very good English language skills.  Prince Albert of Monaco attended Amherst College for a while. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden attended Yale for a while and her father the King of Sweden as did the Aga Khan attended Harvard.  The Empress of Japan also attended Radcliff before it became part of Harvard.  As students, they probably lead low key lifestyles.  CIO 

01/28/16 Thursday 5:05 A.M.  I heated and ate a 18.8 ounce can of Campbell's New England clam chowder that I seasoned with dried parsley, ground black pepper and celery salt, and I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  I will now rest for a while.  CIO

01/28/16 Thursday 12:35 A.M.  When I visited California a few times up until November 1980, I noticed there were no McDonalds in California, and a lot of people were vegetarians that liked to eat taco corn chips.  There was an ice cream parlor on the beach in Laguna Beach. Denny's was the local restaurant chain in California like Howard Johnson's back east.  Alas http://glorydaysdiner.com/ is not opened 24 hours anymore in Greenwich.  I think the Subway sandwich places on I-95 and possibly on the Merritt Parkway are opened 24 hours.  Of course near me on West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich are three 24 gasoline stations with convenience stores with food and a 24 hour CVS with food.  However http://www.portchestercoachdiner.com/ is opened 24 hours.  If one wants to hob nob around the Rockefeller group in Tarrytown, New York, there used to be a 24 hour diner by the Shell Station off I-287 in Tarrytown, New York just before the Tappan Zee Bridge exit.  CIO

01/28/16 Thursday 12:10 A.M.  In California, they are not anymore friendly if you don't have wampum.  Basically in Laguna Beach, California, even when I had money, nobody would talk to me at the 24 hour Denny's near the local hospital, since I was not programmed the way they were.  CIO

01/27/16 Wednesday 11:55 P.M.  Having lived around the Bush group a large part of my life, I have seen no evidence of drug use, but there is a lot of alcohol use around them http://www.greenwichtime.com/entertainment/radar/article/New-Book-Rips-Lid-Off-Jeb-Bush-Cocaine-Scandal-6784145.php .  However, around the liberal Kennedy group in politics, there is a lot of evidence of recreational drug use that the media covers up.  CIO

01/27/16 Wednesday 10:35 P.M.  I chatted with a relative about 8 P.M..  I went back to bed after the previous note until 10:20 P.M..  I will now drink a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I will then make my bed and shower and clean up.  Although I have been sleeping a lot more recently like I am in hibernation mode, I am feeling better without the stress of walking Greenwich Avenue in the colder weather.  I notice amongst the so called movers and shakers of Greenwich, one never sees any of them on Greenwich Avenue anytime of the year, so I guess they shop elsewhere.  On does see a lot of young Turks during the early morning buying coffee at Starbucks on Greenwich, before they take off to run the world.  My viewpoint is that if they can not even make a cup of coffee at their own homes, they might not be qualified to run the world.  CIO

01/27/16 Wednesday 6:45 P.M.  I chatted with a relative.  I checked outside for the mail twice, but it does not seem to have arrived today.  I guess the fire department scared away the mail truck.  CIO

01/27/16 Wednesday 5:40 P.M.  I woke up at 5:10 P.M., when I heard the building fire alarm going off.  It was a burnt toast alarm, so the fire department responded and reset the alarm.  When they last showed up a week and a half ago, and they could not find what set off the alarm, I think it might have been the stairway hall heater on the east end of the building.  I just now told them that.  I can not hear the building fire alarm, if I am asleep in my building.  I just happened to be waking up.  For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with extra virgin olive oil, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and, I drank a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  CIO

01/25/16 Monday 6:55 P.M.  I ate 10 Danish butter cookies and a blueberry muffin.  I also ate 2 ounces of Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese and 3 deli slices of white American cheese.  I chatted with a friend at 4 P.M..  I woke up at 6 P.M..  I threw out the garbage.  I checked the outside environment.  I picked up the mail.   For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with extra virgin olive oil, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and, I drank a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  CIO

01/25/16 Monday 4:00 A.M.  I watched episode 60 of "Monarch of the Glen" http://www.ardverikie.com/ .  I checked outside and walked around the parking lot.  I turned the living room thermostat back down from 78 degrees Fahrenheit to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO

01/25/16 Monday 2:35 A.M.  Well not much happening in this area.  I guess most older retired people do not waste their extra money on cable television and computers and the internet.  Still, I started this activity when I was much younger at age 40 hoping to revive the locally depressed economy.  I think the European Unions have retirement communities in southern Spain, where a lot of northern Europeans retire for warmer weather.  CIO

01/25/16 Monday 2:05 A.M.  I watched episode 59 of "Monarch of the Glen" http://www.ardverikie.com/ .  I guess the American version of European aristocracy working to make ends meet on their properties is www.biltmore.com .  Alas coming from an ordinary American family, although I am disabled I grew up with the work ethic, so I keep busy with my personal computers and the internet.  Of course, some times I burn out, and I have to rest a bit.  After working with personal computers for 26 years, I tend to know what I am doing, although age wise, I might be a bit to old for the modern generation of device users.  Still, everything in its own place and own time.  It is sort of amusing that coming from a private established family, other established individuals do not know how to network, but I suppose it is because with all of the media people in this area, most people would prefer to keep their own privacy.  One could always try moving to the "Leisure World" http://www.lagunawoodsvillage.com/  retirement community east of Laguna Beach, California and enjoying the ordinary middle class lifestyle of a lot of ordinary people living in simple bungalows instead of trying to keep up with the upper glass of the gold coast of Connecticut.  Alas, at my economic status, that would not be an option.  Of course, since the United States of America has been some sort of democracy for most of its existence, we do not try to maintain the European standards of a by gone era.  It is my experience, one pretty much has to pay their own way in this neck of the woods, and the social services as they are provide subsistence living, so over time one has to learn to be a penny pincher and frugal.  About the only think I have been extravagant on is my computer setup http://scott-mike.com/computer.htm which does work just fine, but alas, the more mobile younger generation prefers the more expensive more mobile devices.  They are not really word orientated but more travel orientated.  They of course have different values too.  From a political viewpoint, I think the government social services should give disabled people more money, so they can have more extensive lifestyles.  CIO

01/19/16 Tuesday 7:15 P.M.   I chatted with a relative.  I went back to bed until 7 P.M..  I washed the breakfast dishes.  CIO

I took a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee ravioli, and I put it in a plastic microwave pot with lid, and I mixed it with a quarter cup of Heinz ketchup, a few dashes Frank's hot sauce, Italian spices, ground black pepper, and garlic powder, and I heated it for five minutes on 60% power in the microwave oven.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  CIO

01/19/16 Tuesday 1:50 A.M.  I watched episode 1 of "The Dark Ages, The Age of Light" on Acorn TV.  I ate 10 Danish butter cookies.  CIO 

01/18/16 Monday 11:15 P.M.   The building fire alarm went off about 10 P.M., and the fire department arrived shortly there after.  The alarm system said it was the first floor west, but on the first floor east there was the smell of cooking smoke.  However, the fire department checked each apartment, and there was no problem.  None of the lights were on above the individual doorways.  I watched the fifth episode of "You Can't Get the Staff".  I am just about done with the Acer laptop backups.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 9:05 P.M.  Princess Anne way down south https://www.facebook.com/TheBritishMonarchy/timeline?ref=page_internal .  I ate 10 Danish butter cookies.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 8:50 P.M.  I ate a bowl of goldfish crackers.  On the new Acer laptop, the latest version of 64 bit WaterFox web browser now works.  I am now doing the four different backups on it to save all of the changes.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 7:35 P.M.  I chatted with two relatives.  I ate a 18 ounce Progresso New England clam chowder with dried parsley and ground black pepper and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  Well, I guess we should activate the "Freezing Norwegian" patrol downtown for any young Norwegians brave enough to venture out in the cold weather.  Of course one has to dress warmly for it.  It is not as simple as just sitting in Starbucks watching the world go by.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 6:45 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  There is no mail today on the Federal Holiday.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 5:50 P.M.  I will now make my bed.  I will then shower and clean up.  I guess sleeping so much, I have gone into the human version of hibernation.  CIO 

01/18/16 Monday 5:20 P.M.  I went back to bed until 4:30 P.M..  I drank a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I watched a commercial for $100 for 11 DVDs https://bobhope.timelife.com .  Back in the summer of 1972, I saw Bob Hope playing in a charity golf tournament at the http://www.onwentsiaclub.org/ in Lake Forest, Illinois.  I went inside to go to the bathroom, and he showed up shortly at the urinal next to me.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 12:35 P.M.  I woke up at noon.  I cleaned a little bit of snow and ice off the windshield of the Volvo wagon.  Other than that, it was clear.   For breakfast, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with honey and milk and a sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with extra virgin olive oil, vitamins and supplements with a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and, I drank a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  CIO  

01/18/16 Monday 4:15 A.M.  I woke up at 3:35 A.M..  I ate 30 ounces of Campbell's French onion soup and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.  I will now rest some more.  CIO

01/18/16 Monday 12:10 A.M.  I ate a bag of microwave popcorn.  I watched episode 4 of, "You Can't Get the Staff."  I have limited experience in dealing with the British, since I have never been to the United Kingdom.  Mostly of them that I have met are corporate associates in the old days, and a few individuals around pubs in the Manhattan area.  If there are any British residents in this area, they have not made their presence known.  I suppose the world is so international anymore, one does not know whom is whom anymore.  Of course watching the British programming on Acorn TV gives me a little bit of an idea of what the British might be like.  Well, recently I seem to have been slowing down a bit and sleeping more.  I don't know why that is.  Possibly I just finally burned out from all of the computer work over the years.  Still I should try to resume some of my computer activities to keep up with my usual computer routines.  I have a number of system backups that I could also do.  The lack of communications with other computer people leads me to believe I might be a bit out of step with some of the other computer people in this area.  However, I can not and do not want to invest in Apple devices just to see what they are like.  I don't think they would be that much more different.  I will now rest some more.  CIO

01/17/16 Sunday 10:30 P.M.  I watched Downton Abby.  I chatted with a friend.  CIO

01/17/16 Sunday 8:15 P.M.  I ate 8 ounces of reheated Perdue Italian chicken strips of white cooked breast meat, steamed slice zucchini and steamed baby carrots with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, ground black pepper and Italian seasoning and grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a microwaved potato with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil, and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and America's Choice lemon juice.  I chatted with a relative. Downton Abby comes on at 9 P.M. on Channel 13 www.pbs.org .  CIO

01/17/16 Sunday 7:25 P.M.  I threw out an over ripe pineapple down the garbage chute outside the apartment.  I have a coupon good for a free pineapple at the Acme grocery store.  Alas nobody has communicated with me today, so I am isolated up in the tundra of Greenwich, Connecticut this evening.  I suppose my worldwide network of friends and associates are busy with other matters.  I guess I am back on a night time schedule.  I have plenty of food in my apartment, so I am not starving.  For part of the time from June 1984 until December 1988, I was a Donald Trump neighbor, when I lived on Steamboat Road in Greenwich, so I guess I have seen some of his friends and associates besides the Bush Rockefeller group locally here in Greenwich.  Alas, so many of them go down south in the winter, one is not sure whom is left around here anymore. Of course from what I know, the most famous person that I saw and chatted with down on the pier on Steamboat Road over they years was probably crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.  Alas, having lived around the United Nations in the 1970s, I did see Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip on July 5, 1976, when they visit Manhattan for the Bicentennial of the American revolution.  Of course having visited two Presidential inaugurals and one Winter Olympics, I have seen other famous people in my travels.  CIO

01/17/16 Sunday 6:55 P.M.  I threw out the garbage down the garbage chute by my apartment.  I said hello to a neighbor.  I sat outside briefly for a while observing the less than a half inch of snow so far.  CIO

01/15/16 Friday 5:55 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I went out to my 1:30 P.M. appointment early.  Possibly the reason, I am sleeping so much is that with the warmer winter, my apartment is too warm.  I turned down the living room thermostat from 78 degrees Fahrenheit to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.  Afterwards, I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts center midway and at the end of my walk.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought four 18 ounce cans of Campbell's Italian wedding spinach and sausage soup for $1.50 a can for $6 total.  The second time around store at the top of Greenwich Avenue got flooded by a broken water pipe.  Graham's children hair cutting is going out of business, so they are liquidating their store.  The Casablanca polo shop is moving to Wellington, Florida.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a Swedish American Jewish patron, a Chinese American Jewish reference librarian, and a Swiss patron who used to be a former neighbor on Steamboat Road.  Nobody is interested in anything I chat about.  I then returned home, and I picked up the mail.  CIO

01/13/16 Wednesday 10:50 A.M.  The L.L. Bean Duck Hunters Jacket in its day, because of all of the pockets was popular with professional photographers.  However, when I frequently wore my father's L.L.

01/10/16 Sunday 7:35 P.M.  I chatted with a relative.  One has to remember, I was out of this area September 1975 to December 1983, when I returned off of Nantucket.  Thus in my formative years, when I might have made more contacts, I was a Trappist Monk dishwasher out in Nantucket and wandering around America, and a bit of time in Manhattan, Long Island, and south Florida.  All of which was before the internet, so it was somewhat difficult to stay in touch with people that one might have once known.  CIO
