5:40 am Life
It is raining hard this morning. Not great for outdoor activities such as geocaching or camping or coulee walks. We have plans to do some cooking today and make a batch of bigos and another of chili. That should give us some quick meals when we are short of time. Even with the cold, wet, weather there is no excuse for not going to the fitness center for a workout. And I am now in need of a good book to read. I think I will return to "The Quincunx" for fiction and "The Use and and Abuse of Literature" for non-fiction.
2:00 PM Cooking
We have made 2 large pots of dinner which should last us for quite some time. Most of this will be frozen, but a nice bowl of chili will make for a good meal tonight.
4:00 PM Literature
I bought one non-fiction book while we were shopping at Costco this morning:
- The Wild Ride: A History of the North West Mounted Police 1873 - 1904 (2012) by Charles Wilkins.
Then later this afternoon I bought a novel by David Foster Wallace,
- The Pale King (2011). This is his unfinished novel that was published after his death in 2008.
