Evening

I have finished the five-page paper and all I have to do is find my three-hole puncher, punch holes  and put the whole thing in a folder. If I cannot find the three-hole puncher, which is a high possibility then I will take the easy road of stapling the top right corners  together and la prof will get it like that.
Technically, I have been for two walks today although the first one was about a block to get my hair cut short again and to the drugstore. I will get  a longer walk tomorrow morning because Leslie will be here after she gets off work at 8 am.  I don’t know if I will get in another one…

I had forgotten it gets dark so early when I went out on my second walk. But it was fun to see the Christmas trees all lit up and decorations on my walk. And when I came home, I saw our tree through the dining room window…

Number of steps walked today: 3855
I was interested enough to read today {in Prevention, I think} of the results of asking adults to write down every day for a week three things that had gone well and why they happened. Apparently although the experiment only lasted a week, the participants reported feeling happier for six months after.
iPoddery: Comments about music on "shuffle" on my IPod coming up while I type.

• "Unfortunate Miss Bailey" sung by the Kingston Trio. I have NO idea where I got that from!
• "Sinner Man"  sung by The Weavers
• "Whistle Down the Wind; No Matter What" played by Julian Lloyd Webber. This is one of those tunes that always earworms its way into my head! I heard it first, I think, on a DVD that Fred has and went hunting on ITunes for different versions of it.
• "The Black Freighter" sung by Steeleye Span.
• "I Am a Rock"  Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
• "Bleeker Street" Again Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
• "Now is the Month of Maying" sung by Broceliande. This is a madrigal I learned to sing in school. I learned to sing the alto part… It is interesting because it rhymes the works "Speak" and "Break"  {as /breek/} which, of course, we would pronouncve quite differently.
• "Democracy" written and sung by Leonard Cohen. It’s Cohen, what else can I say…

Ok, I am off to put together my paper…

Until later….
