Good Morning! Wednesday November 3, 2010

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. So far it's still very dark; today will be "raw and damp". The clouds may clear a bit during the morning, but will be back by afternoon. It'll be in the mid to upper 50s, and a fairly good chance of light rain by late afternoon.
Yesterday: I made a quick grocery run on the way home. Last night I didn't do much; I didn't even get any decluttering done. I guess I just felt lazy. Knowing I have time off later in the week tends to make me less enthusiastic about doing chores after a day at the office. :) (that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL!)
Today: There are still chores to do, laundry to catch up, bills to pay ... all of which will probably be done tomorrow. Perhaps I'll wrap some Christmas presents tonight ... that actually sounds like more fun! :)

Today is "Clichй' Day" ... "Sandwich Day" ... "Culture Day (Japan)" ... "National Day (Dominica)" ... "Independence Day (Micronesia)" ... "Independence Day (Panama)".

Qoutes of the Day:
"Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?"
-- Frank Scully

"A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them."
-- P. J. O'Rourke

"Whatever God's dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates."

Today in history:
In 1928, Mickey Mouse appeared for the first time, with Walt Disney doing the voice of his soon-to-be-famous creation, in "Steamboat Willie," the first fully synchronized sound cartoon produced.

In 1948, the Chicago Daily Tribune printed the famously premature (and incorrect) headline, "Dewey defeats Truman."
