0950 hours.
Breakfast and the paper earlier. Sitting in the bedroom with the window shade
open full; we still have snow flurries, they haven't stopped. It is a wintery
scene but not so much as yesterday. Carol just went to the basement, I suppose
for exercises. I better get with it.
Late morning and your exercises are
completed. Almost time for a hot bath then preparation for the dentist
mid-afternoon. Last night Rob F. joined your Link In and when you saw the last
name you thought of a brother and sister at Whitehall-Yearling High School back
in 1967-1969. You did not have the brother, Rob, but you did have the sister,
Carol, for Freshman Honors English. You also taught junior American literature
classes your second and third year of teaching. This morning, after a note to
Rob (who teaches hydraulics systems to businesses) last night, you received a kind note from Carol who is a professional
writer. You also received another note from Rob mentioning that he is a year
older than his sister. You told them that their contacts made your day, which
they have. They are the only two names of students that you remember from
Whitehall-Yearling. You feel good and as you say, 'contact with former students
keeps you young'. Also, as you have been prone to say, "I loved the
literature, the grammar and the writing (my classes) and I loved my students, I
can't say which I loved better." Perhaps you will never be able to say
which or who you love(d) more, boy because they are so intertwined. As an old
friend (now diseased) might say, "Consider it a blessing you old
agnostic." As this leaves you speechless, so to speak, post. - Amorella
You are home from the dentist. He declared the tooth
fine for a cap after the X-rays and you will have this done on 25 April after
your trip West. Carol is thinking about getting out of the house (she has been
working on going through and cleaning up old basement stored elementary school
lessons and the like she has been saving for Jen in Florida.
1508 hours. I must
have been thinking of Bob earlier, he would have said, "Consider it a
blessing you old bastard." So
the "old" was the giveaway.
Shows you he's still around down there in
heartansoulanmind. - Amorella
Good. That helps
make my day even better. I will begin with setting up the four folders to place
the chapter segments in summary.
Nearing suppertime and you are sitting at
McD's on Tylersville after each earlier having a Graeter's kid's dip cup. Carol
is on page 495 of The Innocent. You finished the
chapter segment summaries and now have just the three chapter short summaries
to do. - Amorella
1731 hours. I need
to dress these summaries for consistency with the other summaries. This gets
easier each time I do them. By sometime tomorrow I should have chapters 13, 14
and 15 online and be ready to begin the next three chapters. I have audio
drafts to work on also.
Looks like Carol is beginning to read
Chapter 99. Time to head home, boy. - Amorella
2127 hours. I have
completed the chapter summaries as well as the shorter segment summaries.
You had Papa John's usual pizza for supper
as you watched "Bones", NBC News, and "Red Widow". During
lunch (meatloaf sandwiches and chips) you watched last night's
"Castle". You want to be in bed for sleep by ten rather than the
usual eleven to eleven-thirty. Tomorrow we put together chapter drafts thirteen,
fourteen and fifteen for whoever wants to read them from the blog or from
download. Post. - Amorella
