Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! With DST over, my morning backyard is flooded with light. It'll be low 70s today, a bit above "normal" but a lovely day just the same!
Yesterday: As usual, on work days, I fizzle. I did get a few errands done; and I got one "major" chore accomplished at home. After that, I enjoyed watching Dancing. I'm still a Jennifer fan (though Brandy is certainly giving her a close call; and Kyle is adorable! LOL!).
Today: This is my last work day this week. I hope tonight to finish up laundry (towels still waiting to be folded - I seem to put that off!), and at least clear all the clutter off the dining room table. Any more than that depends entirely on getting a fresh burst of energy! :)
Today is "National Young Readers Day" ... "Anniversary - Kristallnacht" ... "Independence Day (Cambodia)".
Qoutes of the Day:
"You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in."
-- Arlo Guthrie
"Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from."
-- Al Franken
"Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority."
-- Thomas H. Huxley
Today in history:
In 1984, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington was completed by the addition of the Frederick Hart statue called "Three Servicemen."
