contemplativeThis morning my wife and I left the house to do errands and to visit a Salvation Army Thrift Store. At this thrift store I found these used books to Add to our library.

"Kearny's March: The Epic Creation of the American West, 1846-1847" by Winston Groom
"Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson" biography by Alan Pell Crawford
"The Founding Fathers Reconsidered" American History by R.B. Bernstein
"1812 War With America" by Jon Latimer
"Thucydides: The Reinvention of History" by Donald Kagan
"Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, And Compromise, 1848-1877" by Brenda Wineapple
"Revolutionary Characters-What Made The Founders Different" by Gordon S. Wood
In the mail this afternoon I received a new book titled, "Sinai And The Saints: Reading Old Covenant Laws For The New Covenant Community" by James M. Todd III.
This morning I got up around 6:20 AM. I am still fighting a cold and a sore throat. So I got up made a fresh pot of coffee and then messed with our main computer. When my wife got up to face the light of day I made a pot of oatmeal for breakfast. After breakfast I wrote in my paper diary and read, "The Last Adam: A Theology Of The Obedient Life Of Jesus In The Gospels" by Brandon D. Crowe. I read this book till my wife and I left to do stuff around town.
Last night I watched taped television shows with my wife and went to bed around 11:30 PM. Do not know what time my wife came to bed. Our lives are zooming by. It will soon be time to throw in the towel and accept the final outcome.
I will close to feel wasted.
