Carol took my place around 1 o'clock PM. When I got home I wrote in my paper diary and ate lunch. I next catalogued my new used books into my LibraryThing site. So goes by Time. It is 80 degrees this afternoon and I am over heated. I will close to wait. Last night I finished reading, 'The Dark Night' by St. John of the Cross. Before going to bed I read, 'Pessoa: A Biography' by Richard Zenith. I also read last night some more of 'The Dharma Bum' A Novel by Jack Kerouac. 3:08 p.m. - 2022-08-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
