Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a little cloudier than yesterday, and today will be cooler. There may be a shower or two, though from in my office I won't know anyway. Yesterday was nice, and today will be much the same but cooler.
My class last night was interesting, though most of it way over my head! LOL! I keep hoping something will manage to sink in and stay ... though I have this theory that I only have so much space; if I learn too much, I also forget too much. :)
I did manage to do a little bit of organizing and decluttering; hopefully in a few days I'll be to where I can actually sew! :) I'll work at it a bit more tonight while watching AI. I think it's no more boys and girls nights now, just the countdown from the top 12. I have favorites, so will see how they do!
Today is "Black Press Day" ... "Curlew Day" ... "Freedom Of Information Day" ... "Goddard Day" ... "Lips Appreciation Day".
Quotes of the Day:
"There ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got raw deals. You've got to say, 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.'"
-- Lee Iacocca
"The most dangerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps."
-- Benjamin Disraeli
