It is 12:39 PM Wednesday afternoon here in west Michigan. It is another hot sunny humid day. It is a blessing to have central air blowing throughout the house.

I got up this morning with my wife around 4:30 AM. My wife is sick with a cold and she got up because she was coughing and blowing her nose. Since I was awake also I got up ate breakfast and messed with my computer. I went to back to bed around 5 o'clock AM and got up at 7:30 AM.

I spent the morning writing in my paper diary, reading my books and I made a video for my Youtube channel. Now I am writing in my online diaries. As I was writing the mail came and a book I had ordered came in the mail titled, 'American Audacity: In Defense Of Literary Daring' essays by William Giraldi. I have been rereading lately a novel by William Giraldi titled, 'Busy Monsters'.

Carol left this morning around 9 o'clock AM for a class at the hospital. She left feeling very sick with a late summer cold. She works tonight so she will come home eat lunch and go to bed for the day.

Last night I watched television with my wife and went to bed early. Yesterday I read mainly from these two books during the afternoon hours-
