4/1 The first day of April. I woke up around 7:30AM, went out to run for 6 miles. I did okay but the air was a bit cold. Tried to go get haircut but there was no one who could give me a flat top. I had to reschedule for tomorrow. Stopped by a Japanese groceries store, and took a nap. Took care of few things in the afternoon. Went to a groceries store to pump gas and buy some food. Came home by 7:30PM. I don't care about the final four here in the Indianapolis since I don't have a TV or a ticket. Called home in the evening, went to bed after completing the modifications on my PC. (Was around 1:30AM)

I have been driving a lot of Toyotas these days. Arrived at hotel around 9:30PM, had a dinner at Bennigan's. I ate steak and had a beer. Sometimes, I have to do this... I heard a building in Indianapolis got hit by strong wind and broke some windows.

Woke up around 7:00AM, I must have been tired. Worked on issues and stopped by customer's place for the afternoon.
