03/31/17 Friday 8:20 P.M. I heated and ate 12 ounces of Purdue short strips white boneless breast of chicken meat with a baked potato with Smart Balance Spread and a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca. I will now go outside briefly. CIO

03/31/17 Friday 5:10 P.M. I went outside for a while. I sat in the lobby for a while. I charged up my old Apple Iphone 203-524-9074 with https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/ with $10 at ten cents a minutes good until June 29, 2017. I never use it, but I keep it maintained. CIO
03/31/17 Friday 4:05 P.M. I went out to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. Afterwards, I sat out downtown for a while with my green umbrella. I went by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I stopped by the www.apple.com store briefly. I then sat out in the rain some more. I then returned home, and I chatted with a neighbor. I picked up the mail.
I set up an Apple desk in the bedroom on the near empty desk. I put a second switched power strip with the better of the two Apple laptops with mouse and mouse pad connected to it. It has the Dell B1160W laser printer installed on it which also turns on from the power strip. The LAN connection is turned on by the right rear switch on the power strip by the primary work computer. I also put to the left of the Apple laptop, I have my Ipad 3 connected up and my older Apple Iphone. I put the metal apple on the desk too. CIO
03/31/17 Friday 12:25 P.M. I went outside again, and I chatted with neighbors. Sitting outside with my umbrella in the cold damp rainy weather recently has started to activate my Northern European genes which seem to be used to this weather. The weather actually wakes me up a bit as opposed to just sitting inside in the warm apartment. In watching Netflix over the recently years, I know it is cold, damp, and rainy in northern Europe, so I guess I have to get used to it. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go out to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. CIO

CIO
03/31/17 Friday 4:15 A.M. I ate three slices of Stop and Shop deli ham and three slices of Stop and Shop deli Swiss cheese and six ounces of potato salad and three small Kosher dill pickles and a glass of cold filtered water. Bon Soir. CIO
03/31/17 Friday 3:45 A.M. I watched part of program again about the Tsars of Russia. I went out briefly. It is raining out. I paid my http://optonline.net/ Digital Cable TV, Optimum Boost Plus, Optimum Voice, and my http://www.verizon.net/ bill and my www.eversource.com electricity account. My current Optimum bill was about $195, which is about $65 for high speed Cable Modem, $35 for Optimum Voice long distance and about $79 for premium Cable TV. However that includes $55 in discounts for all three packages which covers the two cable boxes which are about $12 and taxes other fees. I also paid my first payment of four on my six month www.geico.com automobile policy. I will go outside again. I will then go to bed, and I will be up at 10 A.M.. CIO
03/31/17 Friday 2:35 A.M. Even though I was homeless in Fort Lauderdale, I figured out I might have some contacts. My half sister had her deb party there in the 1950s. The oldest condo on the beach is called the Illini for University of Illinois alumni. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Huizenga family had a cottage on Lake Michigan just two doors south of my grandmother Boven's cottage. One of the Swimming Hall of Fame contractors was a Boven. Bill Barthoamew's Yacht the "Black Hawk' was at the Bahia Mar as was my mother's boy friend's yacht. Also the www.forbes.com yacht "The Highlander" was at Pier 66. However during the cold winter down there, nobody was around except a few homeless street kids. Wiley Middleton https://www.middletonplace.org/ built Port Everglades. He also had been the first Cadillac dealer in Manhattan and had started General Motor Acceptance corporation, so he traveled around on GM buses driven by Grey Hound. He always told me if I had nothing better to do, to try sell http://www.cadillac.com automobiles. At the dinner hour, there were thousands of yellow or white Cadillacs or Lincoln Continentals moving around. The Queen Elizabeth II used to show up at Port Everglades, and the Captain told me the only people that could afford the VIP suite were the Rockefellers or the Kennedys. They would off load Rolls Royce and Bentley automobiles from England headed towards Palm Beach. CIO
03/31/17 Friday 2:05 A.M. I have a 1:30 P.M. appointment today. I ate a 13 ounce Marie Callender sweet and sour chicken dinner with Smart Balance spread on the vegetables and 8 ounces of potato salad and a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca. I will now go outside briefly. When I go outside, I am smoking cigar cigarettes. I hope to quit smoking again soon, when my doctor prescribes the 28 mg. Nicotine patch. CIO
03/31/17 Friday 1:30 A.M. I went outside briefly. I mixed up two containers for 11 ounces each of Folger's decaffeinated coffee and 12 ounces each of Gold Emblem hazelnut coffee. Folger was Benjamin Franklin's mother's family name from www.nantucket.net . In the summer of 1977 and half the summer of 1978, I worked at the Gordon Folger Hotel on Nantucket as a $2.15 an hour pot scrubber next to a very hot cast iron stove. They served meat loaf for dinner though. The hotel was owned by the Bowman family from Quebec as I recall. I would probably appear as the darkly tanned skinny person in the staff photos for those two summers, since I had been down homeless in Florida the previous two winters. My work those two summers does not show up on my social security record, since I was constantly threatened down in Florida, I did not use my real social security number, but a slight variation there of. Being threatened from what I know because I looked like the DEA agent from the beach in Fort Lauderdale lead me to sleeping in my 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne with the State Police parked around me on I-95, sleeping in the car at the tax free Indian reservation truck stop west of Fort Lauderdale, and camping out with my ditty bag and www.army.mil poncho around Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Key West. Alas, I don't know if any of it was true, but it seemed to me that it was. I quite frankly could not figure out why I would have any enemies, since I pretty much got along with everyone in Manhattan. CIO
I could not fill out my Connecticut Social Security Husky redetermination online, because my account is locked. I thus filled out the paper work and documentation. I went out to the central Greenwich Post Office, and I mailed it downtown. I then sat out downtown watching not too much go on at the late hour. I then went by Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $7 of self service premium V-Power gasoline for $3.439 a gallon for 2.036 gallons at odometer reading of 114873 miles for 24.4 miles driven since Thursday March 16, 2017 for 11.985 miles per gallon in local traffic. I then by CVS at 644 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought two 15.7 ounce Nature Valley Honey Nut Clusters cereal for $3 each for $6 total. I then returned home. I sat outside for a while. In the old days before 1990 before personal computer and the internet, I used to go over to White Plains, New York for some disco and networking activity. Alas none of the people I ever met bothered to keep up with me. I moved the recent paperwork from the bedroom desk to the white bureau left center drawer at the bedroom entrance. Thus the bedroom desk is mostly cleared off. CIO
03/30/17 Thursday 10:05 P.M. When I sit outside on the west side of my building overlooking the baseball field, I can see large windows over at Putnam Green which look like they have large monitors with computer games running.

03/30/17 Thursday 9:10 P.M. When I woke up, I made my bed, so I could move the file cabinet out of the bedroom. I just washed the breakfast dishes. I will now go outside briefly. I will then shower and clean up. CIO

03/30/17 Thursday 7:40 P.M. I chatted with a friend. I went outside briefly. I found a dollar bill, so I have been well paid for all of my work. I moved the paper work from the folding TV table to the left of the bedroom desk, and I put it on the bedroom desk to be sorted out and stored away in one of the empty drawers. I put the folding TV table in the corner where the file cabinet was. CIO
03/30/17 Thursday 7:10 P.M. I was awake until 5:30 A.M.. I ate four slices of Stop and Shop deli ham and four slices of Stop and Shop deli Swiss cheese and eight ounces of potato salad and three small Kosher dill pickles and a glass of cold filtered water. I woke up at 5 P.M.. I sat outside a while chatting with neighbors. I picked up the mail. I cleared out the file cabinet area in the bedroom, and I was able to remove the four drawer steel file cabinet without its drawers from my apartment, and I used my little cart to wheel it out to the dumpster area. In the corner where the file cabinet was, I put my spare wireless keyboards and spare toner cartridges. I put that area of the bedroom back together. I ate breakfast of Kashi cereal and milk, a toasted onion bagel with Smart Balance Spread, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water, and a 12 ounce cup of 33% regular coffee and 67% decaffeinated coffee with Equal sweetener and milk and vitamins and supplements. CIO
03/30/17 Thursday 3:35 A.M. I watched "The Battle of Britain, the Real Story". I went outside briefly. Since pretty much everybody in the world ignores me except for my relatives, my political perspective is more of that of a Swiss Neutral, waiting to see what happens next or comes next or shows up next. I really don't know too much about the overall world situation. There do seem to be a lot of people down south in the winter, and some of them show up here in the summer. I usually only watch the www.foxnews.com ,when I eat meals. They do not really tell one too much, since they seem to be mainly focused on politics. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will go outside briefly. I will then eat 12 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt, and then I will go to bed. CIO
03/30/17 Thursday 2:05 A.M. I went outside briefly. I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm . CIO
03/30/17 Thursday 1:25 A.M. On the Westinghouse 32 inch LCD television in the bedroom, I used a three cable YnPr to hook up the Daewoo DVD and Videotape player.

03/29/17 Wednesday 11:10 P.M. I have the 32 inch Westinghouse LCD television hooked up on the white bureau in the bedroom at the entrance to the living room coaxial cable and also wireless Netflix. I did not hook up the Daewoo VCR DVD player, but I might do that later. For some reason the bedroom cable box works just fine of the HDMI cable to the Haier 32 inch LCD television, but the coaxial cables does not work. It might be a splitter or cable, but the living room 32 in Westinghouse LCD television works fine off the bedroom cable box coaxial cable. I have both the two televisions in the living room and the two televisions in the bedroom setup, so they can each have a different cable box, so one can watch two channels at a time. I straightened up the boxes behind the television on the white bureau, and I threw out some items. I also put the spare laser toner boxes on top of the left and center hallway bookcases. CIO
03/29/17 Wednesday 9:05 P.M. I went outside, and I chatted with neighbors.

All of my friends at the Senior Center probably will be out in full force. Alas I am as usual on a night schedule. I threw out the old www.ge.com cordless telephone and the old speaker system from the bedroom desk. I put the T-Mobile router and Netgear switch with their power supplies from the bedroom desk in a grocery bag in the left lower bookcase shelf in the living room. I trimmed the golden pathos plant back which had grown too big.

03/25/17 Saturday 8:50 P.M. I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor. When I knew Frederick Von Mierers real name Fred Mayers, he was one of the Rockefeller family interior decorators, so I learned a bit about trying to put apartments together as best one can do on a limited budget. I guess there are a lot of Rockefellers in the area for David's funeral, but there is news on the internet about it, so I guess the funeral was private http://heavy.com/news/2017/03/david-rockefeller-family-photos-children-kids-brothers-grandchildren-sister-richard-neva-peggy-eileen-abby-parents/ . His grandfather John D. Rockefeller was buried in Ohio, so maybe he was buried out there in the family mausoleum. CIO

I put the desk accessories in the large left file drawer. In about a week and a half a Greenwich Housing Authority maintenance man will move the empty four drawer file cabinet. To get at it, one has to move the left night stand which is not too complicated. I chatted with neighbors during my moving breaks. I chatted with a relative. I will now go outside briefly.

03/24/17 Friday 1:05 A.M. Well if one is cold, pot scrubbing next to hot cast iron stove is a very hot and sweaty job. CIO
03/24/17 Friday 1:00 A.M. I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor. www.nantucket.net is not that cheap. I used to pay in 1977 $8 for a roast beef sandwich at the A&P deli. I only got $50 though for a five gallon pale of opened sea scallops which cost a lot more. The secret recipe for Portuguese bread is the same recipe as French bread, but the loaves are shaped differently. One of the secret ingredients they used in the cooking at the Le Languedoc restaurant was Arrow Root. The kept a supply of filet mignons in the cooler for a valued customer. The Grennon family that were half owners of Le Languedoc restaurant also owned Sister Kate's bar in Stowe, Vermont, which was very popular with the aprčs ski group of people. A lot of the waiters at Le Languedoc restaurant were from the Stowe Ski patrol, and I was told in the winter it was minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit up on top of the mountain, so when I showed up out of Key West, they did not feel sorry for me feeling cold. I once went to farm auction with Ed Grennon, and a hard working farmer only got 50 cents each for 8 foot by 5 inch fence poles, so money was short and limited in Vermont. In 1977, an organic pizza was only $2 at www.dartmouth.edu . I used to enjoy sitting in the comfortable easy chairs in the stacks at the Baker Library. Dartmouth College has a scholarship program for Native Americans. I once knew somebody from Norwalk named Richard that had gone to Dartmouth College, and he told me they had a program, where they gave a student $5 and sent them down to Manhattan for a week to survive, and they had to write a paper on the experience, when they got back. I saw Richard when I was down in Key West in 1982, and I saw him once again at Cats Discothčque in Oslo, Norway in February 1983. I recall also seeing at an obscure bar in Greenwich Village with a lot of other tall people. He once visited our last house in Greenwich with a fellow classmate from the University of Houston, where had also gone to school. Richard was about 6 foot 3 inches tall and looked like Mick Jagger. I have never seen him besides that. I guess some people do not hang out in public observing the world. CIO

They also want me to take the 32 inch Westinghouse flat screen television out of the bathroom, so I do not electrocute myself. I will store it on the bedroom desk maybe hooked up to Netflix. About the fifth year, I was lying here in my living room on my slate blue foam rubber love seat, and lightning hit the room above me, and the bolt of lighting went right through me, but I was on the foam rubber sofa. Two of my cordless telephone and part of my stereo system was knocked out. However, I seem to have gotten better on electricity. Also when I was homeless in Nantucket in the summer of 1975, I used to take naps on Benjamin Franklin's mother's grave in the old Quaker cemetery. Her grave site had a monument in a Quaker cemetery which normally does not have headstones, so it too was always getting his by lightning. CIO
03/23/17 Thursday 10:55 P.M. I threw out about four hundred pounds more of stuff in five cart loads.

In two weeks, the Greenwich Housing Authority maintenance man is going to remove my two CRT TVs from the bedroom. I have to empty the files cabinets, and he will also remove the Steel Case file cabinet from the bedroom. He measured to make sure there is enough clearance. My social worker said, I can only have one power strip or control panel or surge protector plugged into one outlet which I will have to work on sooner or later. I also can not have the stereo speakers on top of the bookcase, so the left speakers will have to go on the floor, and the right speakers will have to go into the hallway bookcase and not on top of them. I was also told that I should get rid of one of the kitchen microwave ovens. I went outside to see my social worker off. I chatted with two relatives. CIO
03/23/17 Thursday 4:40 P.M. I threw out about 700 pounds or six cart loads of old computer equipment from the bedroom desk.

I also threw out the old keyboards and mice and headsets and web cams and control panels an old speaker systems. I saved the new AOC 22 inch flat screen monitor, and I put out the 20 inch flat screen TV on the bedroom desk. Thus the bedroom desk is mostly cleared. My social worker and a Greenwich Housing Authority worker are going to visit me at 4:45 P.M. to see about moving out the two big CRT televisions from the bedroom and possibly the file cabinets. CIO

03/23/17 Thursday 12:40 P.M. I woke up at noon, when the building custodian checked my apartment to see if there was smoke. I said not. I was sitting outside, and I ran into the Greenwich Housing Authority Section 8 inspector. She inspected my apartment again, and I failed. She said I have to get rid of more stuff. She also told us we can not smoke on the benches outside the door. Thus we have to smoke further away from the building. I also made my bed. I will now eat breakfast. I ate breakfast of Kashi cereal and milk, a toasted onion bagel with Smart Balance Spread, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water, and a 12 ounce cup of 33% regular coffee and 67% decaffeinated coffee with Equal sweetener and milk and vitamins and supplements.

03/23/17 Thursday 2:10 A.M. I first visited Key West with Brian Hibbs on Halloween in 1976. It was all boarded up and totally deserted. We had driven down from Fort Lauderdale, where I was homeless waiting for my unemployment checks from Daniel construction. I hitchhiked down to Key West at the first of 1977, when my 1966 baby blue Chevrolet Biscayne four door sedan was towed and impounded at the Fort Lauderdale swimming hall of fame for too many parking tickets. Initially I slept underneath the annex of the Episcopal Church which I think was called St. Lukes. I also camped out in a palm grove across from the Catholic church. I was somewhat tan having been in south Florida since the third week of September 1976. Jimmy Eldert showed up in February 1976, and he put me up for a couple of days in a trailer next to the Boca Chica Naval station. I can not will recall where else I might have slept. I did hitchhike to Naples, Florida with Jim Eldert to visit his grandparents, but they were not there, so I washed dishes for a day at the Howard Johnson's there for a day for some money. I left Key West around the second week in April 1976, when I got six months of unemployment checks at $87 for every week or about $2,400. Rob Glore cashed my checks. He had the craft shop across the street from the Key West post office. I got my car out of the pound in Fort Lauderdale for about $200. I drove down to Key West, and I picked Jimmy Eldert up, and we stopped by Fort Lauderdale again. We then toured Disney World and St. Augustine. We stopped by Jacksonville to see Hurley Haywood. I then put Jim on an Eastern airline plane for about $250, so he could return to the University of New Hampshire. I drove north and got my car fixed with shocks for about $400 at a Firestone garage in southern Georgia. I toured Plains, Georgia. I then drove north. I stopped by Greenwich, and I got a U-Haul trailer, and I moved my belongings to barn in Norwich, Vermont for about $20 a month storage. I returned to Nantucket. I gave the car away in Nantucket to the Nantucket Hospital thrift shop along with most of my belonging in the car. I opened scallops on the island, and I left for a Science convention in Boston and two weeks cleaning up Sister Kate's bar in Stowe, Vermont and to visit Jim at the University of New Hampshire, where we stayed at the Exeter, New Hampshire Inn for about a $100. We toured Dartmouth College, and stayed at the Wilder Motel at White River Junction for about $40. I hitchhiked back to Greenwich and then up to the University of New Hampshire for the Seabrook demonstration and then down to Williamsburg, Virginia, where I slept on the minister of the Presbyterian Church's front porch. I toured the area and Jamestown too. I then went back up north Greenwich and the University of New Hampshire and as far north as Bowden College and then a couple of days in Portland, Maine before returning to Nantucket for the season as a pot scrubber in various restaurants.
I returned to south Florida hitch hiking down in late November 1977. I had moved my belongings out of Norwich, Vermont to a relative's house in the Philadelphia area. I found work at Le Vielle Maison in Boca Raton for $2.15 an hour for several months and was camping out in a tent in a grove by the north side of the Boca Inlet. After my three side trips to Paradise Island in the Bahamas, I returned to Key West where Jim Eldert had showed up. I tried camping out in the palm grove across from the Catholic church. I then met John Bolton who had a key to the abandoned Casa Marina Hotel construction project. We stayed in the hotel and its annex for a couple of months, and another deserted building on the harbor briefly. We tried going north in April 1978, when I got a $700 Income tax return. We hitch hiked to Atlanta, and bought a few hundred dollars of camping gear, and stayed at a hotel across from the Fox theatre for about $60. We took a Grey Hound to Ashville, North Carolina, and we tried hiking the Appalachian trail for four days camping out. We left the trail when it snowed, and we camped out on the beach at Huntington Island and Hilton Head. There were alligators around in Hilton head. We hitch hiked back down to Key West with someone that gave us a ride the whole way. Around the first of May, we hitch hiked as far north as Washington D.C., and we took the Amtrak to Stamford, and stayed with my relative in Greenwich for a couple of days before returning to Nantucket until around the middle of October 1978. We bought a $150 Subaru wagon that I put a new clutch in, and we did our trip to the West Coast returning back to Key West in December 1978. We drove north to Manhasset, Long Island for Christmas and also Greenwich. We then returned south to Daytona where we stayed with John's sister at a motel on the beach. We might have made a side trip to Key West for a day or two. In August 1980, we left Port Washington, Long Island to drive across country, but we drove up through Canada and down to Key West before driving across country on Interstate 10. In February 1982, when it was minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan, my roommate John's mother had me move out of her apartment. She gave me a $100, so I flew down to Key West. I stayed with Steve Bahl for a few days, and a couple of other people. I was shipped back up north over a month because of a mistaken legal problem. I then returned in April 1982 to Plandome Manor to build the garage apartment for the next 10 months at $2 an hour. After the side trips to Florida, Washington D.C., and Oslo, Norway, I returned to Nantucket in April 1983. I left Nantucket around Halloween 1983 driving down with a relative to Florida, and I returned to Nantucket two weeks later. I finally left Nantucket at the end of November 1983, and I took the Amtrak from Manhattan to Toronto for two weeks, and then I was homeless in Manhattan for two different week periods and two different week Greenwich Hospital stays which determined that I was disabled. I finally got my first apartment in Greenwich near Christmas time 1983, and I have been back here ever since. CIO

03/21/17 Tuesday 1:40 A.M. I finished watching the show. I went outside for a while. I pulled the Ethan Allen recliner forward about 15 inches. Now if one pulls up the front part of the green slip cover, one can fully recline in it to relax or even sleep on it. Thus I don't need a sofa. The Ethan Allen recliner was $1250 new, and I bought it for $75 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop about five years ago. Its originally cranberry upholstery is in mint condition, and I leave the green slip cover on it to preserve it, when I am just watching internet television from it. I will now eat a toasted bagel with Smart Balance spread and a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% diet Fresca. Back in the old days from October 1973 to February 1975, when I used to drive into Manhattan frequently in my mother's new chocolate colored Chevrolet Monte Carlo with vinyl roof, I would frequent park on Mitchell Place off Beekman Place. One could buy the next days www.nytimes.com at 54th street and 2nd Avenue at 11 P.M.. I would visit some friends and pubs. I would always try to come out by 4 A.M. before the Rush Hour in. I would stop at all night bagel shop at 74th street and Third Avenue and bring out some fresh bagels for my relative. A lot of people thought I was still working for www.cbsnews.com since I had worked at the West 57th Street Broadcast center during the spring and early summer of 1973. Alas, Watergate was the big news, and Nixon republicans like myself were on our way out. I did keep an eye on Nixon's townhouse on East 65th Street. Of course Gerald Ford was from Grand Rapids, Michigan near Holland, Michigan and Nelson Rockefeller was fairly established in Manhattan. Nelson drove a brown Oldsmobile 98 that was always parked on Fifth Avenue in front of his apartment building with New York license plate 1908. CIO

03/19/17 Sunday 10:45 P.M. I ventured out to face the Irish, and there was nobody downtown, and it was perfectly clean, so they did a most excellent job of cleaning up Greenwich Avenue after the St. Patrick's Day parade. I stopped by CVS on Greenwich Avenue, and I bought two 12 packs of 12 ounce diet Fresca for $10 and $1.20 can deposit, four 10.5 ounce cans of Campbell's mushroom soup for .88 each, and four 4 ounce tins of Bumble Bee chicken for .88 each and two 14 ounce boxes of Kashi Go Lean cereal for $2.99 each for $24.20 total. I then drove down to the Senior Center area, and I sat out for a while. I chatted with a relative. I chatted with a 77 year old Starbucks regular customer. I walked down as far as Richard's. I returned to Starbucks, and I used the bathroom. I chatted with another regular Starbucks customer. The have an odd brand of 12 ounce coffee called Taichai or something like that is only 57 cents a 12 ounce cup. We chatted some more outside.

One of the reasons I might be feeling so weak is that I am not eating enough protein in food to give me energy. However, going on at close to age 67, it might be the aging process. It is too bad that I can not get any strong young people to help me out on my decluttering of the apartment, but for a long time, I have not even been able to get someone to help me put in and take out the air conditioners twice a year. I think they should start a young people civilian draft in this country to get some of the young people to do some hard work for the old people. I guess I will also shower and clean up and go downtown for supplies. CIO

03/18/17 Saturday 10:35 P.M. Out in www.nantucket.net , when I returned from Oslo, Norway in April, 1983, I returned to working at http://languedocinn.com/ French restaurant as the head dishwasher for $8.75 an hour which was my last job ever. I lived at the Inn on Hussey street nearby. In the summer when the restaurant was quite busy serving up to 250 meals at night, I would start work at 10 A.M.. I would usually make a three egg cottage omelet with cottage cheese and eat it with milk and French bread with butter. The restaurant would open for lunch at 11 A.M.. I would wash the dishes and the glassware in the dishwasher. I would also clean some of the pots and pans in the large metal sink which had been my first job as pot scrubber for $2.15 an hour in 1977. One uses a paint scraper and heavy steel sponge to clean the burnt material off the pots and pans. The dishwasher had three five gallon pales of dishwashing detergent and other chemicals underneath it which they replaced every few days. I would have to breath all of those chemicals in the steam from the dishwasher. I would have to put the glassware out by the bar, which meant I would show up all hot sweaty in my new pink LaCoste polo shirt that I had bought for $40 at Murray's Toggery shop. The waiters would bring an endless stream of dishes, silverware, and glassware to the dishwasher. The plates would go back on the chef's line. Sometime, I would also have to bring the silverware out to the dining area. After lunch was over at 2 P.M., I would do some cleaning up of the restaurant. I would frequently then jog out to the beach and back which was about 10 miles. I would be back at the restaurant at 4 P.M.. I would prep some of the food peeling 100 pound bags of onions and cutting them in the industrial Cuisine Art machine and peeling and cutting 50 pound bags of green beans. At about 5 P.M., I would eat a fish dinner such as filet of sole and one or two vegetables sautéed with a glass of milk and French bread with butter. The restaurant would get busy about 6 P.M.. I would work mostly as a dishwasher with two other young college students Billy and Nicky and Phillip moving the endless chain of dishes, glassware, and silverware. We always chatted amongst ourselves. As a pot scrubbers, one had to get used to the all of the irate chefs with French knives in their hands. Others were doing prep work or making salads and deserts. I would take about two breaks for a tonic and cigarette. About 11 P.M. the restaurant would close. Then one had to do a complete breakdown of the kitchen cleaning everything including the chef's area, the floors, work areas, and any dirty areas. During clean up period, we would listen to disco music like we were all dancing. The chef would drink about six bottles of www.perrier.com since he was part owner, but we had to get by on tonic. About 4 A.M., when the bakery crew arrived, we would depart, and I would go home and collapse for about five or six hours to return to the same old routine. In the 1978, when I was a pot scrubber, there, I would also bring my roommate home a meal. I also had to transport two one hundred pound pales of garbage pales out back for the morning garbage. I would get one beer at the end of the work shift. I did it about six days a week. On my day off, I would go to the beach on the south shore and suntan, and in the evening I o would enjoy a $2 bottle of French white wine. I would frequently sit downtown on my day off and people watch downtown and walk around the wharf area. I paid $50 a week for my basement 8 foot by 12 foot room with a two by four bed. I cleaned up the in bathroom of the guest house. I had an old black and white TV with one cable channel with "No Time for Sergeants", "Our Miss Brooks" and "Ole Susannah". The Inn was only about a hundred yards from the restaurant. The restaurant was across the street from the Jared Coffin house. I would also have to frequently sweep the brick sidewalk in front of the restaurant. There was no air conditioning in the kitchen. Thus I was use to going really fast in the restaurant, when I came off the island for good in December 1983, and the Greenwich Hospital put me on medication. CIO

03/18/17 Saturday 2:50 P.M. I went outside briefly, and I chatted with a neighbor. Back in 1976, when I was homeless down in South Florida, I drove up from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach, and I bought a www.sears.com fishing rod and reel for $30. I explored Palm Beach for about a half dozen times, but I could not afford it. I once noticed during the Super Bowl in 1977, in Palm Beach there were a lot of "Old Guard" moving around during the Super Bowl. I guess a lot of older people live quietly in those big old houses. About fifteen years ago, I had a Taft School classmate call me from Mar Largo, where he was living. He died four days after Teddy Kennedy. The main post office square in Palm Beach is Scott Square, so a Scott family member must have been down there early. A relative here in Greenwich, once knew Henry Flagler's daughter. I once explored the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, and like all Flagler Hotels in Florida, there was an Episcopal church next to it. A good friend of mine's father used to be part of the Palm Beach polo group before World War II. My grandfather Boven in Holland, Michigan used to drive down to St. Augustine, Florida in the 1920s, which must have been quite a trip on the old roads.

Back in the winter of 1976 - 1977, when the King of Norway was on vacation in Fort Lauderdale, I started spending a lot of time going between Howard Hughes' people in Fort Lauderdale and Juan Tripp's people in Key West bypassing everything in between. It was 20 degrees Fahrenheit at 7 A.M. on Thanksgiving morning according to the Bank sign next to the Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale. One winter night in 1977, when my old 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne had been towed at the Swimming Hall of Fame for too many parking tickets, I started hitchhiking down to Key West. I recall having to walk half the way on a very cold night. I remember stopping at a Howard Johnson's for a bowl of oatmeal on the Florida Keys road to revive myself. In the winter of 1977 and 1978, I managed to obtain a job dishwashing at the Le Vielle Maison, but I did not have a car, so I camped out in a tent on the north side of the Boca Inlet. I would walk and hitchhike down to Fort Lauderdale in the day time returning back at 4 P.M. for my $2.15 hour job as a dishwasher at the very posh restaurant. When I got my final $87 check, I bought a round trip Eastern airlines ticket to Nassau from Fort Lauderdale, and for three days, I was treated royally in the Bahamas by Richard Mercy and his friends. However, when I returned to Fort Lauderdale I was left on the street again, and when I returned to Key West, I met John Bolton, who told me he was the architect on the Casa Marina Hotel project. I believed him since he had the key to the building and financing. Life on the road in Florida is very rough, and it does get colder down there. CIO

It is supposed to be down the teens the next few nights http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.04904598378624&lon=-73.62304748575207&site=all&smap=1#.WMMpDtFV-71 . CIO
03/10/17 Friday 3:10 P.M. I ate a 18 ounce can of Campbell's Italian Wedding spinach and meatball soup flavored with garlic powder, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning with two packages of oyster crackers and a 12 ounce glass diet Fresca. CIO
03/10/17 Friday 2:40 P.M. I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor. The snow has stopped, and it is clear out. There is no snow or ice on the road. I chatted with Stamford Volvo, and the ignition part has not come in yet. It has to come from Germany. It hopefully will be here on Monday or Tuesday. I chatted with a relative and a friend.

03/10/17 Friday 1:30 P.M. I went outside, and I walked around the front side of the building. It looks like we have gotten about four inches of snow. None of it is sticking on the road. Maybe it is the local Irish hacking me for being pro British. In the local mid 1970s days, the local blue collar youth hung out at Augie's in Cos Cob, so maybe that is where the hackers are hanging out causing their mischief. CIO
03/10/17 Friday 12:50 P.M. Hacking has been an ongoing problem all of these years. When I used a telephone internet connection, I once has the bios hacked on three computers in one night. CIO
03/10/17 Friday 12:40 P.M. I went downstairs, and I chatted with a neighbor. I stood outside a while. I have been smoking about five cigarettes a day, which I plan to quit, when I get my car back. I have been under stress with the failed Section 8 inspection and straightening up the apartment, the car repairs, and the computer failure. Being disabled, I do things in my own time and at my own pace, and I gradually get things done. Having worked in the past, and having maintained my current apartment for 29 years, I think I know what I am doing. A friend keeps suggesting that I get rid of the Ethan Allen recliner and clear out some items underneath the living room window and put in a love seat, but I never entertain guests, and for my own usage the apartment is setup just fine. From my own perspective, I don't think the CIA has ever hacked my computers, since they would have no reason to do so. I personally think it might be some of the local youth whom might be causing the problems. They obviously have a lot of free time. In the past, the hacking occurred around the school holidays at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Summer recess which leads me think it might be the local youth. Why they might do it is beyond me. Obviously since 1989, some of them might have grown up a bit. CIO

03/10/17 Friday 11:45 A.M. As a United States citizen, I am pretty much a mutt as to my background being half Dutch, one fourth Scottish and one fourth English. However, when one goes overseas, he English and the Scottish don't always get along with the Dutch. Instead of working on home computers since 1989, I would have been better off trying to work for http://www.heineken.com/ , but my psychiatrist would not have liked that. http://www.usa.philips.com/ is a Dutch electronics company, but I do not speak Dutch.

03/10/17 Friday 11:20 A.M. I chatted with a relative. I cleaned the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. From the bedroom entrance, I moved a new power supply and the 5 TB Samsung external hard drive to the right side of the middle shelf on the bookcase along side the bedroom window. I threw out the broken SATA drive and a used power supply and three other boxes. I chatted with a neighbor. I will now shower and clean up.
03/10/17 Friday 10:10 A.M. I went back to bed until 9:30 A.M.. A neighbor rang my bell. I went downstairs to the neighbor's apartment to help him out with a minor computer problem. I stood outside, and I chatted with another neighbor. CIO
03/10/17 Friday 7:00 A.M. I woke up, and I went outside and chatted with a neighbor at 7:30 P.M.. I ate 8 ounces of potato salad and some Cheez-its. I went back to bed at 8 P.M.. I woke up at 6:30 A.M.. I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor. It is just beginning to snow outside lightly, it is currently 33 degrees Fahrenheit, so it might not snow that much. I will now eat breakfast. I ate breakfast of Nature's Valley oat clusters cereal and milk, a toasted onion bagel with Smart Balance Spread, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water, and a 12 ounce cup of 50% regular coffee and 50% decaffeinated coffee with Equal sweetener and milk and vitamins and supplements.

03/09/17 Thursday 2:05 P.M. In August of 1980, I drove with a friend through Key West on our way to California. We picked up a miniature palm coconut that I donated to the Botanical garden at Stamford University when we visit Palo Alto on that trip. Then in February 1982, I returned to Key West when it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan, but I ran out of places to say, so I was arrested for sleeping on the beach which is a serious crime in Florida. I have not been back to Key West since, although I have visited Vero Beach and Bayonet Point and Fort Lauderdale since then. I had a private friend in Key West that was related to the Dupont family, and he owned the craft shop across from the Post Office. He later became a dog walker in Manhattan. CIO
03/09/17 Thursday 1:55 P.M. It is busy down in Cayo Hueso http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ . When I was down there in the winter of 1977 and 1978, I was told that we part of a local commune, and we would benefit whenever the place became more prosperous. Alas prosperity passed me by. The winter of 1979, I visited down there briefly, but I was living with a friend and his sister on the beach in Daytona, which is cooler. We eventually did get some Food Stamps for support. My friend's sister was going to Emery Riddle Aeronautical University. During Spring break they gave away free packages of 5 Marlboro cigarettes. I used to fish off the jetty. A friend of Fred Von Mierers from mid town Manhattan who did catering had a family house down there on the beach, but I never saw him around. I did once explore Canaveral National Seashore, and I saw lots of sharks out in the ocean, and I supposed there were alligators on the inland river side. CIO

03/08/17 Wednesday 12:55 P.M. I ate a Marie Callender 16 ounce chicken pot pie and a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca. If anyone thinks I have not done too much all of these years since 1989 with personal computers, I have also walked around downtown Greenwich and Tod's Point frequently over the 33 years, since I returned from Nantucket. When one walks, one sees more reality than when one simply stays at home watching television. Last October 2016, my right leg froze while walking Greenwich Avenue in the early morning hours, so I have been doing physical therapy since then. It might have to do with all of the weight I put on up at 258 pounds since I quit smoking. Every pound above the knees is the equivalent to four pounds at the knees. Also in Manhattan, Nantucket, and Key West, and in my youth down in Decatur, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida, I also walked a lot and played golf. Thus I think it would be safe to say, I am a professional walker. Still at my more senior age, I have been relaxing more at home. Since none of the people on the internet know hot to communicate directly, I still have to make my own decisions as to what is best from my perspective. I put the photographs in the latest photo albums along with all of Queen Elizabeth II's letters and envelopes. One thing I am fairly confident about is somebody over in England probably still speaks English. Alas, since I am also half Dutch, I don't know the Dutch language. CIO

03/08/17 Wednesday 8:05 A.M. Before going to bed, I ate 8 ounces of potato salad and a 1.5 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch chunk of Westminster British cheese. I woke up at 4:15 A.M.. When I started up the primary Dell computer, it was not working properly. I tried restoring the November 24, 2016 backup, but it would not restore. I tried doing a low level format of the first hard drive with the Seagate Utilities, but it would not work. I took out the 240 GB SATA drive that came with the computer, and I put in the almost new used 320 GB Seagate DATA drive that I have salvaged from the FIC computer. I was able to do a low level format of it with the Seagate Utilities. I then restore the Windows 10 Complete PC backup from November 24, 2016. I restore the changed and new files that I had saved on the second hard drive. It all seems to be running fine. I ate breakfast of Nature's Valley oat clusters cereal and milk, a toasted onion bagel with Smart Balance Spread, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water, and a 12 ounce cup of 50% regular coffee and 50% decaffeinated coffee with Equal sweetener and milk and vitamins and supplements.

3/07/17 Tuesday 11:40 A.M. I chatted with a relative. At www.cars.com , dealers sell my same car with its mileage for about $5,000, so it is worth repairing for $1750. CIO
3/07/17 Tuesday 11:20 A.M. I chatted with a relative. I also chatted with Stamford Volvo again, and they told if I did the $1,750 repairs, it would be safe to drive to Maine in the summer as opposed to doing all of the $2730 repairs. My relative said if I have any more problems, they might get me a used Subaru. I am still waiting to hear from my relative the engineer. CIO
3/07/17 Tuesday 11:15 A.M. I chatted with a relative twice. I chatted with Paul at Stamford Volvo at 1-888-452-2939. At www.kbb.com my Volvo XC70 with 115,000 miles is worth $2,000 for dealer trade in and $3,500 for private party sale. Stamford Volvo told me the Ignition switch, serpentine belt, battery, and transmission fluid need to replaced which would be about $1,750. Also the brake lines and motor mounts and front sway bar links need to be replaced which would bring it $2730 plus tax. I am waiting to hear from a relative who is familiar with the car to tell me what to do. Stamford Volvo wants me to let them know by 3 P.M., so they can order the ignition switch. I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm . CIO
3/07/17 Tuesday 10:00 A.M. Since I don't have the Volvo wagon for the next few days, I had to cancel my physical therapy appointment for tomorrow which was for evaluation, and the rest of the appointments for the month, until I am able to do another evaluation appointment. CIO

3/06/17 Monday 3:10 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I met up with a neighbor downstairs. I took my neighbor downtown to the TD Bank. I then went by the Chase Bank at Deerfield Place. We then went to the Wells Fargo Bank at the Stop and Shop center, and we paid our rent to the Greenwich Housing Authority. I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought an Almond Danish for $1.29 and a box of 40 Hefty extra strong draw string kitchen garbage bags for $7.99 and .51 tax for $9.79 total. I found an apple in the Stop and Shop parking lot. We then went downtown to the Senior and the Arts Center. I ate my almond Danish. My neighbor went to Starbucks for a sandwich. I went to Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won a free card. On the second card with a $1,000 prize, the dealer had a 10, but I did not beat that, so I lost. I then went back up the Avenue, and I met up with my neighbor. When I went to start my Volvo wagon, it would not start. The key would not turn in the ignition to release the gear ship lever, and it only would turn half way, so the car would not start. I tried it a number of times. I called Stamford Volvo at 1-888-452-2939, and they told me to turn the steering wheel back and forth fast and jiggle the key trying to turn it, but that still did not work. I chatted with two relatives. I finally called 1-800-42GEICO, and they dispatched https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=bill+service+and+auto+body+stamford+ct&* Bill's Service South of Stamford to come and tow the car. It took them 90 minutes to arrive, since they were busy. I tired the car a few times more. Earlier I had used the bathroom at the Senior and the Arts Center. My neighbor offered to buy me lunch, but I declined because I wanted to stay outside waiting. I ate a muffin that he gave me. When Bill's Service arrived at 1 P.M., they tried working with the ignition to get it to start, but they could not get it to start. They finally agreed to come back later and tow it to Stamford Volvo, when it was less busy. I smoked three cigarettes my first in a year and a half from all of the stress. I walked up the street, and I stopped by the Chase Bank near Saks Fifth Avenue. I then returned to the senior center. I called the Greenwich Taxi company at 1-203-869-6000, and they showed up promptly, and returned myself and my neighbor home to Byram for a $12 charge and a $3 tip for $15 total. I chatted with Bill's service to give them my telephone number at home. My Obama phone does not ring, so I don't know how to answer it, Even, when it is set on vibrate, it does not vibrate. I chatted with a relative. I chatted with a neighbor outside, and I smoked one more cigarette. I drank a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca. CIO

3/06/17 Monday 8:05 A.M. With my trusty folding Hoover vacuum cleaner, I vacuumed the entire apartment and any dirty surfaces. Thus I am pretty much done with straightening up my apartment and house cleaning. My social worker with the home care attendant will visit tomorrow at 2:30 P.M. to give me any additional suggestions. I can not figure out why I did not pass section 8 inspection considering I have passed it the last 28 years in a row. Possibly since I was sick twice and doing physical therapy this winter, I was a little bit sloppy on my house cleaning. From my perspective, the apartment is as good as it ever has been in its 28 year history. I chatted with a neighbor. I will now shower and clean up. About 9 A.M., I am going to take the neighbor downtown for both of us to pay our rent. I drank a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca. CIO

I chatted with a member of Christ Church. The fire department was responding to a call just south of CVS. I then went further downtown. I chatted with a relative. I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won a free card, and then I lost. I stopped by Starbucks, and I chatted with a visitor from Norwalk who looked high tech. I bought two organic bananas for .69 a pound for .60, a 16 ounce Reser red skin potato salad for $3.99, and four bagels for .59 each less .40 can deposit for $6.55 total.

3/05/17 Sunday 7:30 A.M. I rested for a half hour. I ate a 16 ounce Stouffer's stuffed peppers with grated parmesan and Romano cheese on it and a 12 ounce glass diet Fresca. In the old day in Greenwich in the 1970s, when I only weighed 130 pounds, Stouffer's frozen meals were very popular back then. They had frozen 8 ounce packages of creamed chipped beef, lobster thermador, and shrimp thermador. The last two came with packages of white rice. The chipped beef was good on an English muffin. In Greenwich Village where the students in Manhattan tend to gravitate, Eggs Florentine or Eggs Benedict or a cheese omelet all of with English muffin and coffee was about $3. New Yorkers like walking a lot, so they tend not to eat too much food and they stay lean and hungry. To heavier suburban individuals whom are use to shopping regularly in grocery stores and using automobiles, the New York lifestyle is not considered that user friendly. I used to help run my family's various houses in Greenwich and elsewhere in this area, which takes a lot of effort. I think the only job I have had on the books in Greenwich is when in the fall of 1973, I worked as a waiter at Boodles. I once made a $100 on a busy Sunday afternoon brunch. The interns at the Greenwich Hospital seemed to have the most money to spend. I once was able to carry five or six plates of entrees along one arm at one time. CIO
3/05/17 Sunday 6:05 A.M. I will now rest some more. CIO
3/05/17 Sunday 5:35 A.M. I drank a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca. Diet Fresca from my perspective, so of tastes like cactus juice. When I met Vincent Butler in Santa Cruz, California on Labor Day weekend in 1980, when I was out in California campaigning for Ronald Reagan, he invited me to stay with him for Labor Day weekend, since his wife was visiting Lake Tahoe. As I recall, I was hitchhiking to Santa Cruz after having just returned to San Jose from Maui. We drank about three half gallons of Smirnoff Vodka, so it was a lost weekend. He had all of the old German march songs that we enjoyed listening to. He gave me a radio in a Fresca can that I sent to my mother in Kennebunkport, Maine.
