glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Book of Lights It is 1:52 PM Monday afternoon here in the land of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Right now it is snowing outside. The snow is predicted to turn to rain this evening. I am falling asleep as I write these words. Last night we went to bed early and I was awake around 3:30 AM. I did not get up but kept looking at the clock. Finally around 5:50 AM I got up to face the Coronavirus Pandemic. I made a fresh pot of coffee and then made a pot of oatmeal for breakfast. Carol got up as I was making oatmeal. I ate my oatmeal and then messed with our main computer. After messing with our main computer I wrote in my paper diary and then read from a book titled, 'A Manifesto for Theological Interpretation' Edited By Craig G. Bartholomew and Heath A. Thomas. This morning Carol and I left the house to do errands. While we were out we stopped at theft stores to look at used books- 'Adlai Stevenson: Patrician Among the Politicians' biography by Bert Cochran 'Rampole and the Reign of Terror' a novel by John Mortimer 'Emma' a novel by Jane Austen [A Norton Critical Edition] 'Maps For Lost Lovers' a novel by Nadeem Aslam 'The Book of Lights' a novel by Chaim Potok 'Verdun: The Longest Battle Of The Great War' by Paul Jankowski When we got home we ate lunch and I wrote in my paper diary. All I have read this afternoon is some more of the novel, 'The Sot-Weed Factor' by John Barth. Last night before we went to bed I read, 'Before The Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus' by Rick Perlstein. Well I suppose I will close to drift. 2:11 p.m. - 2020-03-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
