A. Morning Musings

I have a few more chores to take care of this morning. But at this early hour job one is coffee.

Clearly my "long term activities" are on the back burner at the moment.

I think today's schedule will be similar to yesterday's: some early morning math., then house-related chores (including some work on the bulletin board) with a little history reading thrown in. I have a "coffee" meet scheduled for 3 PM at Mojo's Pub & Grill on the west side.

B. Actual Learning Activities

5:00 PM

I used the truck to pick up some large items from a person who was contributing some unwanted stuff for the genealogical garge sale in June.

I cut all of the pieces to size for the frame for the bulletin board that I am refinishing for the genealogical society. I also mounted the plastic underlay and cork board, so this is beginning to look like I will get it finished in the next few days.

I found time to get a little reading done but much of the day was spent on the above two activities - each step takes much longer than I would guess. The beer at Mojos was a nice break.

10:00 PM

We had our first steak on the barbie (we had an earlier barbeque meal in Edmonton a couple of weeks ago).

We have finished watching "Atonement" on DVD. I thought the photography was superb and the interleaving of past and present kept me on my toes. That reminds me - we watched "The Bourne Ultimatum" on DVD a couple of days earlier. This was the third film in that sequence.
