19 Sept., 2006. A fine day it is to be sure. The rain came all morning as a fine, but steady mist. 'Twas as if god was givin' us a washin'. With the temperatures in the high 50's and the misty rain it felt exhilarating to get out and go to work.

I came home early because I'm going to drive D. to the eye doctor, and she will have her eyes dilated and won't be able to drive safely afterwards.

For unknown reasons my laptop computer is behaving for the moment so I've decided to try a post. My new laptop has been ordered and should be ready for pick-up Thursday or Friday at the latest. In the mean time I've been able to catch up on some reading. I prefer to read from the print on paper technology, since that is what I grew up with. If I find something on line to read that is of any length, I print it out because I find it too difficult to read from the computer screen except in short bursts. The same principal applies to my writing. I make many fewer mistakes both spelling and grammer wise when I put pencil on paper rather than typing on the computer. So, all in all, this little break has been like a gentle breeze of fresh air.
