Ginger tilapia A very good dinner. Shopping Or rather, browsing ... Kaufmann's, Traditions, Bed Bath & Beyond, TJ Maxx Possible bed style. We liked similar styles in general, and were able to quickly rule out some of the $2,500 ones. Not-quite-so-likely silverware style We were perhaps getting closer to something we could both live with, but we weren't there yet. We also made a stop at Giant Eagle for fish; all the stops and starts and traveling meant that I swept snow off of the car more times in this day than the rest of the winter combined. f J A N U A R Y 1 6 , 2 0 0 4 To Akron A good drive After an unpleasant day that I just never could get in sync with. r J A N U A R Y 1 5 , 2 0 0 4 Market Report Late at night, but I got the work done I wanted to get done. Notable in that that doesn't seem to happen very often anymore. Colding. Photo: f rom last Saturday's Lancaster jaunt This portrait of the Hon. Thomas Ewing is to be found on the side of a bank building in downtown Lancaster. I think that the shadow of the streetlamp would have made a more perfect halo had I come upon it perhaps half an hour earlier. Hon. Thomas Ewing Choir rehearsal We sang through (most of) Ezekul (pronounced as it's spelled, otherwise it doesn't fit). It was fun. Now if we just had enough people to cover all the parts -- by the time the 1st tenors split, the second tenors split, and then in came the other tenors, we had run out of voices. Bexley afterwards. New front page Bank One caused yet a third and fourth revision to the paper this morning. w J A N U A R Y 1 4 , 2 0 0 4 Improving day Bank One's proposed buyout by J.P.Morgan Chase added considerable excitement to the day's deadlines. Much work, but enough energy to make it worthwhile. When John B. McCoy "sold out" to First Chicago NBD, it was an emotional and personal loss to the city of Columbus. Our largest bank, not to mention a venerable company and respected community leader, left town. McCoy is back, having been relieved of his duties a couple of years later, but the bank, which still employs 8,800 in Columbus, is going, going, further and further. John G. McCoy, now in his late 80s, held tightly to his wife's hand in a television interview and cried. John H. McCoy, his father and John B.'s grandfather, had also been CEO of what was City National Bank until it adopted the Bank One name in 1979. For Columbus, it hasn't been the hometown bank since its headquarters moved to Chicago. So this time, the merger is just about jobs, not pride and community leadership. t J A N U A R Y 1 3 , 2 0 0 4 A sad day. Tired and lonely, still gray, still cold.

The lost photos From Holden Beach. So maybe it's not the memory card after all. It loaded just fine on the card reader at work, (still on OS 9), though only once did it work (and I'm so certain it did once) on 10.3. Images Saturday One Saturday Two Marathon art planning lunch at Buca We got through everything, but in many cases I fear the creativity will need to be added later. n J A N U A R Y 1 1 , 2 0 0 4 Christmas in retreat Spent the day taking down lights and decorations. The tree is ready to be taken out. There was a lot more to store away this year, (Amy's ornaments are now in the Christmas trunk, too); next December will see how well (or not) I organized it all. Images Christmas decorations Crucifer for the week The cross was at the rear of the church as the choir prepared to process for the service. Unfortunately there was no crucifer to carry it. I don't think I've done that since high school, or maybe a year or two after, but it worked all right. We sang "Come thou fount of every blessing," an old favorite, and wondered again at the line "Here I raise my Ebeneezer." Ebeneezer means 'stone of help' or memorial stone. It comes from I Samuel. In verse 4:1 it is the location where the Israelites fought the Philistines. In verse 7:12, after the Israelites had defeated the Philistines, Samuel erected a memorial stone and named it Ebeneezer.
