LINDEN'S LIFE
It has been a week since the election and Linden’s life is not yet appreciably better!
-----
Thursday 11-6: We had our usual breakfast meeting; we laughed a lot in spite of the election results. Another trip to the dermatologist: Got another prescription and they cut out three suspicious areas on my back. I proofed the book preparation files the printer sent: Looks pretty good to me.
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Hayford came by from the Mission House to return some stuff. In the evening, I took the bandages off of the wounds on the back – one place was really hard to reach – had to find a back scratcher and hook a corner of it and then had trouble putting the salve on it.
Saturday: Slept poorly (again) and was up early: Was sleepy all day. Napped some. Called my old brother-in-law in Illinois for a long visit and Thuc called me later. His Navy son is getting promoted and Thuc is going to California for the occasion; Jennifer is now in her third year of medical training – wants to specialize in ear, nose and throat. His younger son, Long, is now in his third year of college and just participated in a Navy Seal type contest: finished number one out of about one thousand.
Sunday: Church, Sunday School, Hayford spoke about Ghana in this class, brunch, paper reading, a bit of TV watching and we had our annual congregational at evening church.
Monday: Had some computer related difficulty in posting my blog. Had a nice lunch with a friend and Brian called later in the day for a nice visit.
Tuesday: Had a GOP Roundtable meeting at 7:00 then joined some other guys for coffee. I slept poorly again last night so; every time I sat down I napped off.
Wednesday: Had my “Study Buddy” session at 9:00 then went to the credit union to pay a bill. While driving, I heard a bit of the Laura Ingraham radio show and was not favorably impressed with her guest. I think he was some liberal black guy with a name something like “Trey.” Sounded dumb. He referred to Sarah Palin saying something like “I’m a feminist, whatever that is.” He thought that showed a lack of rational thought. Since there must be fifty different versions of what constitutes a feminist, she was absolutely correct.
Dinner and program at Church, then went by the Mission House: Enoch is back from his travels and had called me to say that the TV picture was blurry. I told John Dingman at dinner and he had already been to check on it when I got to the House. So, I did nothing.
