Notes - to have some thoughts

       Evening. You had leftover Carol's meaty chili for lunch and leftover dinners from Potbelly's lunch yesterday. Carol worked on the closet in the guest bedroom and you prepared to work on your closet in one of the two closets in Kim's old bedroom. You both took well needed afternoon naps after which you ran errands and stopped by Buddy's Carpet near the corner of Tylersville and Cox Roads. The salesman, Steve is coming out with samples and to take measurements between eleven-thirty and noon on Wednesday. You are hoping to have the carpet order in by Wednesday night. He said he might be able to have it cut and installed in a week rather than two. You hope this is plausible. Tonight you watched NBC and ABC News as well as a recent "NCIS" and the first half of Rachel Maddow.  - Amorella

       2148 hours. The only thing funny about Donald Trump is the portrayal of him on "Saturday Night Live" otherwise he is becoming his own worst nightmare. The Republicans who put up with him are worse than the President is.

       Are you speaking of classical sins here, orndorff? - Amorella

       2153 hours. Yes. I can't think of them -- greed and pride come to mind -- pride is first then greed. I used to know them all when I taught Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and Milton's "Paradise Lost".

       You used to become depressed in March which was triggered by "Paradise Lost". - Amorella

       2157 hours. It started with the Ides of March and Caesar's assassination which coincided  with background and teaching of selections of "Paradise Lost". The Fallen Angel had no chance in Milton's wonderful work, none; He was done in by his own pride and arrogance which ironically helped allow human beings a sense of Free Will. That's how I see the story.

       Do you think Satan is a real fallen angel? I ask because you capitalized Fallen Angel. - Amorella

       2206 hours. I think Satan is a personification of what we consider are the sins or deep moral weaknesses within us human beings. I usually capitalize "Angel(s)" out of respect on their plausibility just as I capitalize "G-D" out of respect of a Creator or our personification of a Creator. (2211)

       Time out to help Carol find the TV remote for the bedroom. We searched on two floors. She found it in the small bedroom where she was working on the closet.

       2225 hours. These events happen one to three times a month. One of us misplaces something. It is usually found, except for my two sets of car keys that cost us about two hundred dollars each to replace. In the meantime I seemed to have lost interest in the list of sins and fallen angels.

       You have not lost interest in Chaucer or Milton though. - Amorella

       2231 hours. I have been lucky in my life to have come across and 'known' such writers and their works. I am a reader who has read a selected world of wonderful and creative minds. I have taught selected such writings for my professional lifetime and indeed have been quite fortunate. In the English speaking world, nothing comes close to some of the literature of Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare and Melville. As I taught them I studied them year after year. There is a wealth of the basic human condition in those and many other world writers. The better, the more intimately we understand the basic human condition from birth to death the better we understand our 'condition' in the world that is our school yard.

       Post. - Amorella

       2244 hours. Gladly, it was good to have some thoughts.
