Conversations with Calliope- Vacation Posting

(San Juan-Condado Coastline)

JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today?
JOE: Rested after a peaceful and interesting weekend.
CALLIOPE: How did you spend it?
JOE: Doing a little tweaking on my website on Saturday and entertaining friends at night. Yesterday I got out the cross country skis, did some reading and watched the Super Bowl.
CALLIOPE: And now you are back at the computer.
JOE: You noticed.
CALLIOPE: I did. What's up this week?
JOE: I will be away next week and I am busy trying to decide how much to keep in contact. Gerry would suggest I leave my correspondence and writing behind for the week. Carol already did suggest this.
CALLIOPE: What are you considering?
JOE: I thought of an autoresponder for my email. I am considering continuing my blog although I have never used a shipboard computer. I might try sending some blogs but haven't decided about this yet.
CALLIOPE: It might be an adventure.
JOE: It might but it might also entail aggravation and expense I do not need.
CALLIOPE: I guess I'll have to wait and see.
JOE: I guess so. Talk with you tomorrow.

Conversations with Calliope

JOE: Good morning Calliope.
CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you?
JOE: Dealing with reality. I have been doing well with Weight Watchers until this weekend when I went overboard with two get-togethers. Time to get back to reality.
CALLIOPE: I guess so. Did you do much besides socialization over the weekend?
JOE: I baked bread for our friends on Saturday night. Yesterday after going out for St. Patrick's day and the occasional Guinness, I was busy sanding the walls of Carol's living room.
CALLIOPE: No work on writing?
JOE: I worked on the current chapter of Marital Property. But sometimes I feel I need to think about something else.
CALLIOPE: And this morning?
JOE: I worked on finishing up our photo scavenger hunt entries from the cruise. We had a list of pictures to find from A to Z and then distribute. Finally that is done.
CALLIOPE: What plans to you have for today?
JOE: I would like to at least finish the chapter I have been laboring on and start the next one.
CALLIOPE: You seem to be losing some momentum.
JOE: I hope it's just temporary and plan to get back to work this afternoon.
CALLIOPE: I hope you do.
JOE: I hope so too. Talk with you tomorrow.
