Well, here we are, dear diary, another day, minus the dollar, however I did just eat the biggest mess of good food I've eaten
in a good while, and it's not even Christmas. Had some hot Wolf brand chili, the home fashion style, with beans, some corn tortillas
and a couple of green onions, topped off with a cup of black, hot coffee. It was some of that good even though I didn't have any
hot dog buns or any other kind of bun. I was planning on spooning this stuff onto a slice of light-bread and folding it over when I
remembered I had gotten some tortillas. I was going to have chopped onions but the green onions smelled so good. It was a good
meal and I ate a little too much. So how does that grab you, dear diary?
After breakfast and dishes this morning, I came into my office to check on how many books Larry McMurtry had written and if there
were others I might want to read. While searching online I bumped into an article in Texas Monthly written by a former resident of my
hometown and eighteen or twenty miles from McMurtry's hometown. I started reading the article, a feature article, and a long one.
Anyway to me it was interesting. I finished a book by McMurtry last night, actually I finished two, One, the streets Of Lorado I had read
before but didn't remember the ending so I read it again and finished it, too, last night. The other was, "When The Light Goes." In so
doing we missed a scheduled viewing on PBS of one of Ken Burns Country Music. Our memory needs help and we are going to have
to start making notes to ourselves. So, dear diary, sitting here at the bottom of a conversation forum, cold and with the lights all turned
out, how did your evening go?
