June 29 - Massachusetts

Been a busy week! Most of my books are put away except my reference books. Aside from all the "missings"...I do, however, have a lot of books with which I can now sit down and actually READ :) That makes me happy!

I got a replacement TV this week. My living room TV got severely damaged at some point (I do not think I have mentioned that). The TV was fairly new, and ended up with a deep scratch right across the middle which destroyed all the pixels. It was totally ruined. After conferring with my insurance company, they agreed to replace it. Got a new one delivered this week.

I also culled through my albums. The 33 1/3 kind you listen to with a quality phonograph. Which I do have (actually two). I only kept the ones I really want to listen to now. I am done with Anthrax, Iron Maiden, ELP & Led Zepplin. That was then; this is now.

Kept the obscure and the classics that still resonate: Joan Baez, Crosby Stills & Nash, Steve Forbert, Moody Blues, Simon & Garfunkel. And of course, ALL my Dylan!

That was a project I had put it off as it was rather intense, but am glad now it is done. For inquiring minds, yes - they are sorted alphabetically by singer/group. And (of course) in order of album release for those with more than one :) You would not expect anything less of me!

Tomorrow I need to do a bit of housekeeping. My BFF is coming over Sunday, and we have not seen each other in months. Not since before I went to Maine last winter. I am really looking forward to seeing her and spending time chatting! I have planned some upscale-type apps.

Wish I was traveling this summer, but circumstances curtail it. I will visit my sister and her S.O. in Maine and have a short trip planned at the end of summer, but that is about it for this year. Leaves more for next!

There is one more place I really must go, and the threads are working through my mind. I also would not mind revisiting parts of Canada. That was such an amazing trip!

Stay tuned my friends!
