12/23/16 Friday 4:25 A.M.  I could not sleep, and I woke up at 4 A.M..  Maybe the Robotic Control program was reprogrammed to give me less sleep.  Possibly I am psychic with somebody traveling over these Holidays.  I saw in an article that one actor was able to lose 70 pounds for a part by eating just an apple and a can of tuna fish a day.  I ate a bowl of Utz Sourdough dark pretzels.  In the larger size, these have sold out http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/18215?feat=field%20jacket-SR0&page=original-field-coat-with-wool-nylon-liner .  I still have mine that I bought last year from Ebay for $40 from North Carolina.  I guess the Maine Preppy look is getting popular again, but you have to wear it with http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/506697?nav=sr&term=bean+boot .  Alas, nobody communicates with me, since having been a Bush neighbor since 1962 or possibly before, people figure the government as usual is eves dropping on me like they do on most everyone else.  I have visited other friends and family where the telephone never rings and nobody ever visits.  While traveling in the old days including Europe before cell phones, one was used to living without communications.  Well not too much happening in this neck of the woods.  CIO

12/22/16 Thursday 11:30 P.M.  I watched series 4 episode 10 of "A Place to Call Home".  Since for the past month, I have been on a daytime schedule to do physical therapy twice a week on my right leg, I have been more conspicuous in the daytime in Greenwich compared to more my usual nocturnal routines.  Thus people whom have not seen me frequently downtown might be confused, particularly the back country people whom rarely go downtown with the masses.  For what it is worth having lived in Greenwich, Connecticut since June 1962 and frequently walking Greenwich Avenue since December 1983 when I returned from Nantucket, more than likely some of the more experienced "Old Guard" might have some sort of vague recollection as to whom I am and what my position is within the community in terms of my back ground and half million dollar education and various experiences, but for all I know that "Old Guard" might be pushing up tulips if you get my drift.  CIO

12/21/16 Wednesday 4:55 A.M.  I woke up, and I ate some Utz sourdough dark pretzels, 3 ounces of Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds, and a glass of cold filtered water.  I finally woke up again at 4 A.M..  I put clean linens on the bed.  I started two loads of wash, and I have ten minutes to go on the wash cycles.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I watered the plants.  CIO

I saw a big Newfoundland dog going into CVS this evening with its owner.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 11:35 P.M.  I reheated two 3 ounce Perdue chicken cutlets for 2.5 minutes in the microwave oven, and I ate them with steamed sliced yellow squash, and steamed sliced green squash, and a steamed sliced red pepper seasoned with Smart Balance spread, Lowry's seasoned salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil, and cherry tomatoes with a vinaigrette dressing and a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca and a cup of chamomile tea with Equal sweetener and lemon juice.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 10:35 P.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I have recently been going to physical therapy twice a week at the Greenwich Hospital for my right leg.  I was told today that my problem might be that I don't drink enough water which causes salt to build up in the muscle tissue causing Charlie Horses and muscle cramps.  I will have to start drinking more water.  I have two Brita water containers in my refrigerator.  As I was leaving the Greenwich Hospital, I stopped by the gift shop, and I bought a 6 inch red poinsettia plant for $3.  I photographed the beautiful large Christmas tree in the lobby with my AT&T Go Phone.  Somehow it transfers pictures to my Microsoft account, so they might show up sooner or later.  I then went downtown.  I chatted with a relative.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   I sat out at various locations.  I stopped by the Tesla dealership, and I chatted about wild animals and Vermont.  I stopped by the Apple store, but they were not chatty.  I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar at the Greenwich Cigar store, and I lost.  The branch bank to the left of the entrance of the Greenwich Train Station has closed.  I stopped by the Gym Fitness equipment shop to the left of the Greenwich train station door, and I chatted about Norway.  I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I lost.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks.  I chatted with the coffee vendor about a missing friend from Brazil.  An old architectural digest magazine shows Anderson Cooper's Hideaway in Brazil.  I chatted with a regular walker.  I stopped by CVS, and I bought four 15 ounce cans of Campbell's condensed mushroom soup for .88 a can and two 6 ounce Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds for $2.50 each for $8.52 total.  I chatted with a relative.  I stopped by AT&T store, and they told me I should call up AT&T Go Phone if I want to change my plan and save the $500 I have accumulated on the  phone good at 10 cents a minutes every three months, until I pay $27 to renew it again and keep the balance.  I don't chat with it much, since I have other telephone services.  I sat out at the Greenwich Common, and they have Holiday Lights and greenery on the lamp posts, so it looks very festive.  Most of Greenwich Avenue has Holiday lights on it.  I sat out a while more.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with three staff members.  I checked out Macs for Seniors for Dummies.  I then went by the Stop and Shop.  I bought a 64 ounce Ocean Spray cranraspberry juice for $1.99 and a 64 ounce Ocean Spray crangrape juice for $1.99, a 48 ounce Stop and Shop old fashioned oatmeal for $3, two 12 ounce packages of Perdue chicken cutlets for $2.99 each, and two baking potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.67 for $14.63 total.  12 ounce packages of Dockside crab or lobster cakes are on sale for $5.99 and a lot of the prepared $6.99 meals are a third off.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I put away my purchases.  I put the red poinsettia plant in a soup bowl on table to the left of the primary work computer sitting on top of the second Dell D410 laptop which I never use.  I still have to take the beta  of Windows 10 off of it which has expired, but Windows XP still works on both of them.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 2:50 P.M.  I will now make my bed.  I will then shower and clean up.  I will then go out to my 4:30 P.M. appointment.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 1:50 P.M.  The order with tracking of http://www.newegg.com/Info/TrackOrder.aspx?TrackingNumber=61299998790725506678 on the order with $10 off with promo code "HKNGDECPT28" , I ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164030&ignorebbr=1  for $14.99 with free shipping has arrived.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 1:35 P.M.  I woke up at 1:30 P.M..  I will now eat breakfast.  I ate breakfast of Kashi cereal and milk, a toasted English muffin 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.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 4:30 A.M.  Lobster Rolls at our local Stop and Shop are $7.49.  Lobster cakes at the local Acme grocery store are $2.49 apiece.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 4:25 A.M.  I will now go to bed.  I have to be up at 1:30 P.M. this afternoon to make it to a 4:30 P.M. appointment.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 4:20 A.M.  It says here http://dunhamwilcox.net/ny/southampton_hist.htm , there was a John Scott in Southhampton, Long Island in 1662.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 4:35 A.M.  $15 https://www.christianbook.com/kjv-personal-size-giant-reference-imitation/9781598562460/pd/562460?event=Bibles|1001621 .  Basically I don't travel anymore, but I get to see a few visitors coming my way out here from time to time.  Alas, the younger generation are probably still enjoying the hot spots in the nearby Big Apple.  I like the quiet more peaceful life out in the country.  Also with an automobile the grocery stores are more user friendly.  Most of the people I knew in Manhattan were from Long Island, since Connecticut has equally enjoyable suburbs, I don't feel the need to explore out on Long Island anymore which is about ten time busier than the rural environment of Connecticut.  The landscape is a lot more flatter out on Long Island.  CIO 

12/20/16 Tuesday 3:35 A.M.  I rested until 2:45  P.M..  I ate a bowl of Utz sourdough dark pretzels.  I opened up a 10.5 ounce can of Bar Harbor New England style lobster bisque, and I put in a plastic microwave proof pot with lid and five ounces of milk, and I heated on 60% microwave power for five minutes.  I put it in the large Cobalt blue soup bowl with 20 broken saltine crackers with a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan and Romano cheese on it and fresh ground pepper.  I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca.  Diet Fresca tastes a little bits like Schweppes Bitter lemon soda which is basically lemon quinine water.  A friend of mine and his family have gone to Jolly Old England for the holidays, but I have not noticed if any English tourists have come our way on the rebound.  Of course I have not been out too much recently in the general public because of the colder damper weather.  I guess any English that I might have seen around when I used Fred Von Mierers apartment from 1973 to 1975 near the British consulate have probably all retired to Spain, or where ever they go when they retire.  Actually I did not meet that many English visitors around the British consulate, because the Irish were always protesting in front of their consulate on Third Avenue.  Fred's Chemical Bank branch was across the street from the consulate, and his liquor store where he had a charge account was just north of the British consulate.  Fred did introduce me to Kip Forbes whose family had a townhouse in London.  I did spend a bit of time back then near the Gretta Garbo home for wayward boys in Greenwich Village which during World War II was the headquarters of British Intelligence in Manhattan, and the Fabians were active around Henry Kissinger's neighborhood on East 52nd street where Gretta Garbo also lived.  CIO

12/20/16 Tuesday 1:00 A.M.  I watched episode 10 of "Olive Stone's Untold History of the United States".  I ate a bag of microwave popcorn.  CIO

12/19/16 Monday 11:35 P.M.  I read some back issues of www.pcworld.com with my Ipad 2 from the www.greenwichlibrary.org magazine Zinio collection.  I renewed my www.aarp.org membership for another year for $16 good until May 30, 2018.  For my old Apple Iphone, I recharged my https://www.h2owirelessnow.com with $10 more, so I now have $19.05 on it good until March 29, 2017.  CIO

12/19/16 Monday 10:15 P.M.  I ate 6 ounces of reheated white turkey breast meat with steamed broccoli crowns, sliced yellow squash, and sliced green squash seasoned with Smart Balance spread, Lowry's seasoned salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, Italian seasoning, grated parmesan and Romano cheese and extra virgin olive oil, and cherry tomatoes with a vinaigrette dressing and a 12 ounce glass of diet Fresca.  CIO

Bush, and he lived in a trailer next to the Boca Chica Naval Base with a man that looked Ronald Reagan.  The man that looked like Ronald Reagan used to rake the white gravel at the Fogarty House on Duval Street.  Thus that trip was the last time, I was in Key West.  CIO
