Keeping a daily blog is rather more difficult than one would expect. What does one write about when life is, well, just life as it is much more often than not. Today is one such day.
As usual, BB is off so we spent the day together. This mourning we ran errands as usual. There wasn't all that much to do but do it we did.
I had three books at the library to pick up. I'm somewhat surprised about how reserving books at our local library works. It's a very good library and part of the Minuteman system of Massachusetts libraries. One nice thing about the Minuteman system is that between the member libraries almost any book one would want. The entire catalog is available online and one can order books from any of the libraries delivered to your local library. That's really convenient. I've taken to having three books in hand and ordering another as I finish reading each one. On the whole that's worked well. But, every once in a while I don't have a book to read then all the books I've ordered show up at once. That's just happened. I am finishing reading The Sea Hunters II and had no other unread books. Then yesterday three books I had ordered came in and today another three. From none to six in two days. One wonders how the system works.
Speaking of The Sea Hunters II it's an interesting read based on the stories of ship sinkings that the author, Clive Cussler, has looked for. Cussler has organized the book around a pair of chapters about each sinking. The first is a fictionalized semi-historical account of the event and the second a description of his effort to find the ship. There is a fair bit of nautical history about each sinking and I've found it really rather interesting.
We stopped by the coffee shop. I've been talking to Dave about the possibility of going to work for him and learning more about coffee including possibly roasting. He's talking about possibly something this summer.
We also stopped by the grocer to pick up a few things. Eighty dollars later we had six small plastic bags of food! Gives one pause about regularly eating!
This afternoon BB was off to the doctor. Just routine but it gave me a chance to do an chore or two around the house. I've gotten rather behind and need to focus rather more to catch up.
Marinated steak tips for dinner. We'll have left overs so there'll be good lunches or another dinner.
