House:

  • Touch up paint in dining room and kitchen

  • Strip table
  • Make sign for the house's name

    Garden

  • Cobbler to reheel shoes (17th & Marion)

    Kinwork and Lisaism

  • Burn and mail photo CDs. I'm really not interested in doing this.

    Reading:

  • Rita Mae Brown, Rubyfruit Jungle
  • Roddy Doyle, Paddy Clarke, Ha Ha Ha
  • Sylvia Louise Engdahl, Enchantress from the Stars
  • Jasper Fforde, Something Rotten. Still on the list because it is just another, probably even formulaic, Thursday Next novel, and therefore not a priority to me, but it is a priority because it was lent to me. Fast read though.
  • Graham Greene, The End of the Affair
  • Oscar Hijuelos, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love
  • Rudyard Kipling, Kim.
  • Bernard Malamud, The Fixer
  • Eudora Welty, Stories

    Exercise

  • Bike as long as it's over 25, and work on 20
  • Try walking to work.
  • Gym too
  • Walk three miles on bus days.
