But I'll take a break to write the notes, and then do three or four more pages.

Seems strange to have the day off Monday. No employer has ever done that for me before.

I just spent most of the day reading. It was a luxury.
I need to do it more often.

I usually read when I'm eating lunch, or dinner if I eat out by myself...of course, that was in the before-times. ::)

Sunday evening greetings!  Do you remember what you did 40 years ago today?

Richard and I got married!


I knew I had a Saturday night blackout (one of many) in early January.  Thank you for letting me know where I was that night.

Happy Anniversary, Ginny and Richard!

TCB, regarding the refi, if there are no fees and your monthly payment is lower, why would you not do it? Your comfort and security today were the reasons for buying the condo, yes?


My confusion was whether to take the lower payment or to shorten the loan by five years.  I see no reason to shorten the loan, because I don’t plan on continuing the payments from heaven.  So, I am going to take the lower monthly payment.

I'm just a little on edge waiting for the next three days to pass.


I agree, John.  I am very worried about what new nightmare will confront us this week.  I am praying for the health and success of our country.

Yes, that is correct.  Monday is a federal holiday and there will not be mail.

I watched a docudrama tonight about the sinking of the passenger ferry, the Estonia, In the Baltic Sea back in 1994.  I didn’t remember much about it, despite the loss of 852 people.

Today, I've just been burning a Blu-ray disc (it took seven, count 'em, SEVEN hours to burn ONE title! :o ) and watching videos on YouTube.

The most shocking thing to me was that after the ship capsized on her side and people had to basically climb to get out on deck; the passengers were basically mugged and robbed by a few of the passengers, as they came out on the deck.

I've only worked for the library, never any kind of private business, so I've always had the federal holidays off. :)
