contemplativeI am feeling sleepy on this bitter cold snowy afternoon. I might take a nap after I post this diary entry. Carol just went to bed because she works tonight. She will be up all night working.
I got up this morning around 7 o'clock AM. When I got up I found Carol on the main computer buying plane tickets for this coming February. In February our daughter has her third child/she gives birth. Carol plans to be down with her in Phoenix when the baby is born. I made us oatmeal for breakfast. I ate my oatmeal while messing with our main computer. After messing with our main computer I wrote in my paper diary.
This morning we did errands and visit thrift stores in search of used books to add to our library. I found these used books to add to our library today-
"The White House Transcripts"
"Travels with Charley In Search Of America" memoir by John Steinbeck (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

So the day goes by. Not much else to report. Last night Carol and I watched television. Carol went to bed early and I read till 11 o'clock PM and went to bed. I finished reading the novel, "The Wanting Seed" by Anthony Burgess last night. Today I have been reading the novel, "Stone Arabia" by Dana Spiotta. I should finish reading this novel either tonight or tomorrow.
Well I will close since I am failing fast.
I should mention before the moon comes up that I received two books in the mail yesterday-
