I’m not sure what to do with my day. So I’m writing here instead.
I got up early because I had to be at work at 10:00 and ate a yummy breakfast, granola, omlet, and toast with strawberry jelly (the good kind too, with chunks of strawberry in it…sometimes dining services does it up right). Then went to work, where I realize that it is universal for libraries to have a token old, grouchy, crotchety, but slightly amusing guy who likes to demonstrate his power as head librarian by being nice to those who are nice to him and being an utter authoritarian to those who aren’t. I’ll admit, I laughed — inside laugh of course.
(Look out window: There goes the kid with the bongo drum again, this time he’s carrying a guitar too…maybe I should be his friend. I mean, we do live in the same building and he looks mildly interesting.)
But anyway, I got off at 3:00 and it’s a neutral 60 outside, cool sea breeze included. And now I’m deciding what I should do. Whatever it is, it definitely needs to involve my novel “Walking With the Wind”, the memoirs of SNCC co-founder and Civil Rights activist John Lewis. Actually an enjoyable book (made slightly less enjoyable as it is the subject of paper #6 of this semester, paper #7 quick to follow…).
