Saturday sabbath

Watching season two of "Carnivale." It's just plain disturbing and weird. I love it. Bram called, wanting to talk about having dinner, and so I'm making chicken and rice and cornbread.

I exchanged a few emails with my best friend from college today. He's doing well with his new business it seems. I asked him if he'd given any consideration to traveling on the QM2 cruise that I want to go on. He said that he felt too old, out of shape and unwilling to put up with "a ship of young party animals."

I say that we'll have the run of the place from 0700 to noon, and scroom.

I had a day of rest today; Saturdays are the only day I can do that. I still have to pull together some definitions for myself for tomorrow morning.

I'm going to be glad to move to the old townhouse in a week or so. I was thinking that it is going to be a shame to have to abandon the blue leather sofa that's been in my bedroom; I just don't know that it will fit in my new bedroom.

I was going to buy two XM Innos - one for me and one for John II. I thought about it for three days - and decided that trying to please John II wasn't a good move, and that I'd just never use a portable XM radio myself. My money would be better spent on upgrading to a Treo 700p, since my Treo is half dead. There is a car mount kit that I want to put in my car that will make it easier to see and use, has a built in charger, and will allow me to use the Treo as a navigation device which is VERY cool.

I've been looking at all of the stuff that I have here in the house that hasn't been used since I've moved in here. The clearance sale is going to just get bigger. Appliances that haven't been used are going out on sale, glassware, vases, tschotkes, wall art, printed music, CDs, books, dishes, collectibles, and so on.

Some of this will be donated to the church for the garage sale, some donated to the church for use at the church, and some listed on eBay for sale. If I can find someone to help me with the digital camera work and the uploading. Other than that, it's ALL going over to the eBay consignment store. Yurg.

In my mind, I'm already moving. I'm seeing what's going where, how things go together, so on.

I think John II is going to end up moving in with his girlfriend fairly soon - by spring, anyway. He's spending 100% of his time with her.
