Different Saturday


I had forgotten that we had agreed to go to a local grocery store this morning to "solicit" for funds for our local branch library summer reading program. John finally noticed it on the calendar last night. So we spent all morning asking for small donations from folks going to the store on a Saturday morning. I didn't get a count for our efforts, but it seemed at the time that people were being very generous. It does make us feel that our efforts were helpful.

That pretty much did it for "work" for the day.

John had ordered a couple more classes from The Learning Company, and they were delivered today. One is a very elementary class about understanding music. He started with that one. The lecturer is very good - entertaining, erudite, specific. He started by saying that the class was comparable to a conversational Spanish class - getting a rudimentary grasp of the language, without being able to write the language. He defines music as a mixture of sound and time - very basic. I think I'll probably be watching this with him.
