I am rereading The Stranger by Camus.
The anti-hero, Mersault, is an amoral jerk, a statement I wouldn’t have dared or even known to make on a high school term paper.

Bought a fleece at Academy and chose free in-store pick up v. $6.95 home delivery.
Make inconvenient trip to store to save seven dollars? Really?
Like driving across town to save two cents per gallon on gas.

… to that omelette, I told my wife, I didn’t feel well, and we went home. We had dinner, and I went to bed early.
Back to the omelette with too much salt. Why did I eat it anyway? So as not to waste the egg I made it with? It’s only one egg. Why not fix another omelette and have what I really want?
I applied that lesson later in the day when I went to a recovery group meeting with a sore throat. Thinking back to that omelette, I told my wife I didn’t feel well, and we went home.
Practicing playing trombone by ear. Hymns are the perfect length and complexity. Pick one a day, sing it, then play it on trombone in three or four different keys. Finally, I sight read it on keyboard. I ooh and ahh over “delicious " chords.
Too much salt in the omelette this morning, but I ate it anyway.
Greetings! This is Eric Nye in Covington, La. I am working on a Toastmasters speech about my experience with social media. I was familiar with the handful of largest social media sites. I was surprised to see dozens listed on Wikipedia. I picked out Micro Blog because it looked small, manageable, and unintimidating.
This afternoon, I am reading another history, book by my favorite historian, Philip Jenkins. This one is titled “A Global History of the Cold War, 1945–1991.” Jenkins is British and teaches history at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. his histories are similar to this blog site: short, insightful, and extremely well written.
