2000年4月21日 (星期五)  阴历三月十七,White Plains,雨,C8-C11

今天是来美国的第182天,离美国签证居留期限还有两天，延期申请批准签证迄今仍然没有收到，离我们申请表交出的时间已经二个月另11天。5:25pm,和移民局录音电话接通，仍然答复“cannot be find”。雅虎天气预报北京11C-22C，上海12C-22C，哈尔滨1C—15C，NYC，雨9C-13C。因为下雨和为Y及Z准备早餐，没有晨练。预报从今天起一连三天下雨，真有点煞风景。这两天他们8:30am左右才上班, 他们业余忙着张罗新的什么思路,显得日程安排很紧张。原来准备星期日和一去黄开来那里，谁知她们的老板下周休假，需要她顶班，又不能离开了。Z则下周二至五要去芝加哥出差。3:40pm, Y已回家。

    10:13-10:18am, 给黄开来通上了电话（办公室423 662-5426），他下周四去圣地亚哥开会，下月24日回国探亲。他以为只要保存好移民局的Receipt Number就没有问题，他的母亲也出现类似情况。我们商定在下月24日前的一个周末时间里由Y开车前往他那里。

全天雨下个不停，午间和下午3-4点间雷声隆隆。

午饭后看了传记录像片查尔斯王子，该片放映时间共100分钟，1995年出版，介绍说：“Prince Charles, The Private man, The Public Role  He is heir to the throne of the British Empire, to a life of unequaled privilege, duty and sctutiny—Prince Charles, the man who would be King. This revealing portrait was made possible through unprecedented access to the Royal Family. Filmed during a year of travel and turmoil, it follows the Prince to foreign capitals, aboard the Royal yacht, even through the chilling assassination attempt in Australia. In a series of extraordinary conversations, we see the person behind the Princely image, as Charles candidly discusses the most sensitive subjects of his life—including the revelations about his marriage that stunned the World! ”

16:30-16:50pm,Y带我去Office Depot (423 Central Park Ave. Scarsdale, NY 10583 914-722-0770)购买激光色带，两盒价13.99$,一盒价7.95$,税率6.75%,实际四盒为29.87$,每盒为7.47$。在这里用色带是相当贵的，因为一盒打印的量在100张左右，按此计算相当于我在北京用一盒的1/7，则应该合56元，而北京的价值为24美元左右（喷墨）。回来后试用情况良好。

    今天Nasdaq继续下挫62点。Y和J的情况如下：Real Cash Balance $81,084.90；Available Cash Balance $61,664.92；Stock Value $3,975.00；Account Value $85,059.90，比昨天多了100多元。100 RAZF Razorfish Inc -1 7/16 18 1/4 19 7/8；100 VATA +1 1/8  21 1/2 20 3/8

Y和Z所在的IBM公司今天工资涨幅已经确定。Z上升幅度为6.0$,今年工资达72000$,而Y上升幅度为4%,今年工资为62000$,两人相加合计为134000$,加上股票的收益当在160000$以上。
