  • Shower.  DONE.

Log

07:20 AM: I’m up. My weight is unchanged from yesterday.  It’s still  177.0 Lbs.    

10:00 AM: Watched today’s episode of    Pittsburgh Today Live   on KDKA TV.

11:45 AM: Went to the Carnegie Regional Library for the Blind, and borrowed five more digital books.  I love reading books on these new DTB players.   

12:00 PM: Read some of the book:  Team of Rivals.

12:30 PM: Watched KDKA TV local news at noon.

01:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of   The Young and the Restless.

02:45 PM: Walked   [Emmy]   to her doctors appointment after finishing an Indian lunch at Tamarind. 

03:30 PM: Created audio journal episode:   AJE-2010-03-02-14-47.  Talked through some tid bits of the trip so far.

04:00 PM: Walked   [Emmy]   home from her doctors appointment.  Now, it’s nap time.

06:10 PM: I’m back up again, and they just noted on the news that people who nap a lot appear to have a significantly greater chance of getting diabetes.  Hmmmm.  I wonder fi it’s the napping itself that causes the diabetes, or if napping is but another effect of some other cause, that also causes diabetes? 

07:00 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of   NBC’s Nightly News   evening news show.

08:00 PM: Rewrote titles for nearly fifty posts in the   Tom’s Love Quest   blog, to remove stop words from them.

12:15 AM: [Tad] called.  We’re getting together sometime this week to conduct some business for the   WPSBC Alumni Association.  I’m to call him in the morning when I wake up and schedule the exact time to meet him, once he’s at work and has access to his calendar. 

12:20 AM: Bed time for me.  So good night, take care, and see you later.

    Book: Team Of Rivals

    Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

    11:45 AM: I started this book:  Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln   by  Doris Kearns Goodwin.  They suggested this at the library, because for one, they had very few other DTB books in stock to choose from.  Plus it sounded familiar to me; I think President Obama was reading this book during the early months of his first year as president in an effort to more effectively bring together congressional republicans and democrats.  This seems a timely book in lieu of congressional gridlock these days. Finally, it’s quite long (over thirty-eight hours reading time), and I enjoy a “meaty” book.    So, we’ll give this one a read.
