What a quiet day!

This has been a really low-key day! Not a lot to report unless you love quotidian details - like, I had oatmeal for breakfast, talked with Carol Plagge on the phone, read about the Obama presidential library coming to Chicago (big news in the Chicago Tribune), read about the folly of Tax Increment Financing in the village of Bartlett (don 't ask me to explain it), I napped on the living-room couch, ate a bowl of soup and a turkey sandwich, Ellen and I went for a walk in the bright sunshine and brisk air, we got an ice cream and went to a used book store, we came home and met Rick, Jerry's boat buddy whom he had been helping today over at Lake Michigan- stuff like that. That kind of a day.
