Late July 2006
Mon 17 Jul
I finally did a few things this weekend -- the biggest was to replace the shingle on the shed roof. I battled the antivirus and the spyware on my computer. Apparently, neither had been installed, and I had a virus.
Wrigley Field had a surprise yesterday for the Mets. El Duque was duked, allowing the Cubs a 5-0 lead after two innings. In the sixth, the Mets had their biggest inning in their existence: eleven runs, along with the first two grand slams in a game, let alone an inning. Cliff Floyd abnd Carlos Beltran had them, and David Wright had the other for two runs. The Cubs had opened the door for a defeat of 15-7.
I am slowly ridding myself of books I'll never use. I try to fill a second bag of garbage every week. Otherwise, I'm still inefficient in using my free time over the weekends.
Wed 19 Jul
I awoke just before midnight, and I lost an hour trying to sleep. This time I avoided the television, and the internet was working better than ever. The hottest day of the year just missed 40ยบ, and a thunderstorm cooled it off after 8 PM.
Last Thursday, The History Channel had a curious program on how the religious leaders of Israel were also miliatry leaders of the Israelites. Sister Dolorette never told us why the Israelites chose a king in Saul, but the need for a military leader to drive the Phillistines out of the central mountains proved decisively the reason.
I've been having flashbacks of State College, around 1978, when I felt as though I had no choices with my life, a kind of determinism in place of personal power. I think it was a kind of overflow from Catholicism combined with my personal alife, all illusions! My review of French doesn't help keep the despair away, nor the feelings of helplessness, which heavily influenced my current dissatifaction of life.
Thu 20 Jul
I had yet another dream about starting a Penn State. The symbolism haunts me, for I very well know what it means. I should resume my studies for the next score of my working life, and especially along the lines of entrepreneurship.
Mon 24 Jul
I stayed home all day yesterday. Outside of mowing the lawn and garden, I accomplished little. I spent much of my time with Rosetta Stone on Polish, and a little Latin. The Kenneys visited us on Saturday, which didn't help my schedule. I continue to fill another bag for garbage each week to remove physical clutter.
Wed 26 Jul
Mom went to the oncologist today, and she could not find his new place. When I arrived home, the right rear tire was flat. For the first time in nearly twenty years, I changed a tire.
Fri 28 Jul
Once again, I slept poorly. No sooner had I fallen asleep past midnight when a thunderstorm woke me, and the power went off. We lost power in only the section between the parallel streets. Despite the storm, the weather remained warm and humid.
Sat 29 Jul
Both Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez had trouble in their first innings at Atlanta, and then they streaked the Braves down. Meanwhile, the offense took over to give the Mets wins, 6-4 and 11-3. They sit ar 62-41. They are burying their opponents in the National League East.
