Back from San Francisco

As usual, we stayed at our friend Gary's house, so no hotel costs. We shared some meals out and had the last meal at a friend's house where we had a collaborative meal. I got us in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art with my Milwaukee art museum membership, so that saved us $50. I picked up a class at Carroll University, but won't be paid until the end of August, so will start depleting my savings. I'd like to visit Becky in NY, but will have to use airline mileage to accomplish that one-lets see if I do. :) Summerfest starts tonight. I got a free ticket by attending an early event. Roger gets in for $3-the advantage of getting old. ;)

The Summer of Todd!

Well, no teaching at UWM this Summer, so I'll have to go into super frugal mode. We'll see how I do. I'll update the blog as my savings slowly dwindle. I need a super Groupon! My goal is to concentrate on getting my stuff together-hopefully doing better than George Costanza did. :)

George: I'm really going to do something with these three months.
Jerry: Like what?
George: I'm gonna read a book. From beginning to end. In that order.
Jerry: I've always wanted to do that...
George: I'm gonna play frolf.
Jerry: You mean golf?
George: Frolf, frisbee golf Jerry. Golf with a frisbee. This is gonna be my time. Time to taste the fruits and let the juices drip down my chin. I proclaim this: The Summer of George!
