August 21, 2009 Mail: Lofgeornost #96, from Fred Lerner. Mostly devoted to a trip in the South of France; makes me want to see some of the places he and his wife visited. Also discussion by various people of books which can be read in more than one order, Canada in American future-setting sf (usually absorbed by the US, till recently), and books considered overrated.

***Internet down at Southwest Senior Center. I headed for East Lake Library; library computers have a one-hour limit, but that's better than nothing.

On the way I stopped in at the St. Vincent de Paul store, which often has free food on Fridays. What they had was ten-pound packages of sliced potatoes. I wasn't interested in taking that.

When did restaurants, school cafeterias, etc. stop slicing their own potatoes?

Monday August 24, 2009 I was over whatever illness I'd had for the past several days.

***To Southwest Senior Center for Internet access.

Back home, saw the cat trying to beat a window curtain into submission.

The cat lost.

***That night, I found myself going over some memories which for years have aroused feelings of resentment.

Now they didn't. And so far, they still haven't.
