Sunday 24 October 2010
Sleep: Sound. Up 04 to piss.
Toilet: Shower.
Dream: I was to fly to Long Island, but had lost the ticket for the second leg of the trip, and had forgotten where it was bound.
Bkfst: Omelet.
House: Amphony overwhelmed with noise, even in the morning & with the rechargers empty.
Reading: CSM.
Project Vote Smart.
The People, the Press, & Politics (1988), to see if I could figure out who the lowlifes are who are swayed by TV ads. (Who *was* elected president in1988? Clinton? Ah, no, Bush I.)
Dinner: Do.
Monday 25 October 2010
Sleep: Awake several times, and up to piss, but slept again.
Bkfst: Oatmeal.
Trips (purchases): Fellsmere. 4 swans: 2 gray, 2 larger & white. (Wikipedia does not countenance gray North American swans.) Cormorant on flotsam. Plenty of geese & ducks.

Sleep: Awake early.
Toilet: Shower. Sheets.
Hugs: ***.
Bkfst: Omelet.
Trips (purchases): Laundromat.
Waltham: Skellig for pub sing. (Dinner, 4 beers.) This time I was there first. Eventually about 20, all beautiful. There were more solo performances of new songs than usual. I couldn't understand the women's singing, even *** singing Tam Lin, which I had heard before. I led 3 songs. Questioned the bill at the end, I think erroneously; at any rate, I paid it. Took the train home again.

Emotions: Many shame attacks.
