The day in review

We had a busy day today. We went walking at TCC. I walked three miles. Then we left and stopped at Subway and got a five-dollar footlong sub. We got a black forest ham sandwich, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and bell peppers. J does not like bell peppers, so she let me have hers. We took the sandwich home and ate it.

We went to the library and turned in some movies and books and checked out a few books waiting there for me. That afternoon, we wrote out some checks to pay some bills. We went over our bank statement and got that caught up. We went to WalMart and bought some strawberries and chocolate dippng sauce. We came home and J fixed the strawberries and chocolate for our gathering at the Bradleys.

At 7:00 pm we went to Border's Bookstore for the meeting of the small poetry group. Gail is currently the leader of this group. Tonight we looked at the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. I read "The Raven," and Gail read "The Bells." There were six of us there, including J who does not normally attend. J was with me since she wanted to go to Randy's for the celebration of Darwin's birthday. We, including Gail, had to leave early to arrive at Randy's. We were late, of course, since both events started at 7 pm.

After we arrived, Randy presented the Planned Parenthood representative with a check for $300 raised among local freethinkers. I took pictures of the presentation. We are hoping to get one in the newspaper. The PP rep spoke of the various kinds of services provided by PP. The husband of the rep was there. He will be a part of the Chautauqua in June. He will be portraying Robert E. Lee on one of the nights.
