So the Orientation Went Well, But...

That doesn't mean that there weren't some incidents. I could kvetch about how the orientation went, but a few key incidents and notes:

1. The prayers worked, and thanks for the prayers.
2. I'm skipping "The O'Reilly Factor" at 8:00 to watch the rerun at 11:00 because I still have other things to do at home-- for example, listen to the daily WABC "Geraldo" broadcast (or in my case, podcast).
3. Michelle and I each got a free cup of coffee. Long story short, we were each charged for a full meal at True Grit's. When I saw the $21.00 total charge, I honestly thought that the receipt was someone else's receipt. So, Michelle took it back to the counter, got the policy explained to her, and had them give her the coffee free (which they did on their own initiative because they understood that we didn't know the policy).
4. One blog entry that I wrote is in handwriting, and I'll scan it in later.

By the way, that was beyond dirty of Erica to use Sol to get her point that Geraldo's mustache is "so old fashioned" and that Sol's friends think that Geraldo "[is her] grandfather". Skip to 25:27, and you'l hear why that was clearly a spouse using her child to get her own point across to her spouse-- and I hate when any spouse (not just Erica to Geraldo by using Sol) does that to his or her spouse and his or her child.
