I was so tired from all the activity yesterday that i took a nap before bed! As i suspected, my high mood has abated with the freezing weather today. It was 'feels like' -19 C (-2.2 F) when i got up, and i slept-in. Don't want to know what it was at dawn. Yikes!

I've spent the day quietly and started a new book which seems promising. It's "Deeds" by Joseph Amiel, an author my parents used to read. It's 36 years old but i am still enjoying it. It's nice to read a book written in a simpler time, before the Internet. Geez, i'm really getting old! The book i tried before this was "The Vineyard" by Barbara Delinsky and it was too tame and girlish so i abandoned it.

I'm a fifth of the way thru "Deeds" and it started with the grandfather in the early 1900s. It was educational for me to read the passage about The Great Depression. The economy holds such sway over our lives. I'll have to hope that there's not another financial catastrophe like that during my lifetime. Hmm... To listen to me you'd think i plan to live to my natural death! How refreshingly optimistic!
