Two days until I go to the beach. Can hardly wait. It's warmed up to the mid-50s here today, but the pollens are so bad, I feel as if I have a cold.

TOD:  I have no idea what I wanted to be when I was a "wee bairn", but I grew up wanting to be an actor.  I was, in an amateur way, through college and during my military career.

Couldn't care less about it now.  Most of those who inspired me have passed away and there is no one I truly admire/would want to be like performing now. 

But that's the advantage of growing old.  Your tastes and outlooks change.

Gosh, Jack.  It is currently 50 degrees in Oakland.  But, if it's any help at all, it feels like 49 degrees.

Topic of the Day:  When I was in high school, for a while I wanted to be either a watch repairman or an architect.  I took shop in 7th and 8th grade and then not again until I was a senior in high school.  I really enjoyed drawing the plans for the projects that I made, which made me think about architecture.  Otherwise, I just really liked watches, especially pocket watches.

I high school, my friend Andrew let me take apart his Rubik's cube.  I took the plastic center part from that and made wooden outer pieces.  It didn't really fit together perfectly, but I got an "A" on the project, mainly because no one had tried anything like that before. :)

Really enjoyed my first two listens. Hope to find some time to devote to it.

My Twilight Time Blu rays were shipped 2/11/15, but I've seen nothing of them yet.  Mail has not arrived today and it's nearly 4 p.m.

The day after a holiday is tedious.

Unlike one former DR who used to post such things and then wait until someone begged him to finish, I shan't make you wait.

I bought, from Sleep Train, a brand new Beautyrest mattress w/pillowtop and foundation.

The bed is now so much higher off the ground than it was since the thickness of the mattress/foundation is a bit more than double the thickness of the old mattress/box springs.

It's been a while since I shopped for mattresses.

20 years, in fact.

Sigh.

TOD, I wanted to be my cousin's nurse (he was in med school to be a doc) or I wanted to be a secretary or I wanted to be a weather girl.  Then I wanted to be a studio musician or a composer.   It was a long time before I actually considered being a lawyer

I completed my order at roughly 2:25 p.m. yesterday.  The mattress was on a truck and in my condo by 3:30 p.m. yesterday.

I had a grand time putting all my pillows in my dryer and fluffing them.  Everything was freshened up.  I had already bought a new comforter for the bed (pending my getting a new mattress during President's Day weekend).

Actually, when I graduated from law school, I still wasn't sure I wanted to be a lawyer, but felt the die had pretty much been cast

Tonight I'm going to Whiplash with Paul.   He wanted to have pizza first, but it's $2.00 popcorn night, so I plan to eat lots of popcorn

I had an incredible night's sleep.  Only awakened three times...and one of those times was to change position.  I normally have changed positions frequently through a night....8 or 9 times by my reckoning.  Each time, I would awaken and have to move my body pillow with my turn.

Last night I moved my body pillow to the side of the bed and finished my night's sleep without it.
