Sadderday
Dearest,
It was –3° (-19.5C) when I woke up this morning, I crawled back under the covers until it warmed up to .5° (-17.5C). I was so reluctant to go outside that I did half of Sunday’s chores before starting today’s. We have 30” of snow on the ground and no temperature at all, what a lovely time of the year this is. I spoke with Danny at some length and he sent me an e-mail diatribe about people who can’t read. While he was quite serious he had me in hysterics. Everything he said was true but so comically said. I ordered a new release through the book club, “While Mortals Sleep”, it’s been months since I read a book. Some one seems to have taken care of the membership fees for the year, anonymously. Should I leave it be or investigate? Yes perhaps my motivation had something to do with Danny’s rant on American illiteracy. Just the other day I was conversing with someone who was shocked, shocked when I quoted Robert Burns. Anyone who cannot should not consider himself or herself literate. I think a lot of this was spurred by Michael Steele’s revelation that he is indeed illiterate, echoing through the internet. I am remembering your theory, “Women Impel Literacy”, makes me smile, yes I can do more than lift heavy objects.
I threw some dirty water out the back door today while I was cleaning, it’s pretty much frozen where it landed, on the steps. Note to self; Do not throw water out the door when the temperature is only a single digit. It’s warming up now, about 25°, snow is supposed to start soon. There appears to be an avian riot taking place at the feeders in back. The corvids have taken over; the neighborhood has gone to hell.
Just got off the phone with Tamsin, such a nice kid, I am invited to a party in the West Village, tonight! I hardly think so. Her show is apparently doing well, she’s going to dance six hours and then go out partying. How wonderful to be young, and in that kind of shape. I can’t do anything for six hours without a nap. It was snowing when I came home from Audubon but it seems to have stopped now. We’re just supposed to get a couple of inches. Don’t know what I’m going to do tonight. I have a movie to watch, bills to pay, and an internet to fool around on. Such a high energy life I lead.
Till the next snowfall, Your Ken
