Rain in the morning. Packed up more DOG pictures. Drove to UPS Store. Closed. Trip to Lowes for temporary night light. Looked for pocket knife to replace the one lost in Washington at the AfroAm Museum last week. Unsuccessful. Just one set of fancy Buck knives svailable.  

Princeton Arch Press with Karen. Found lots of good books Xmas gifts. Took nap listening to Open Source on Beethoven. 

Wrapped books.

Off to the Spotty Dog for more presents. Including $70 on witty socks. Karen days we managed to spend $500 in total this year.

Wrote note to Noah about my gift book, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward Baptist.

Late start. Appointment for PT with Anna Marie Zeitsmann. Finally understand focus on upper back muscles. Got new headlamp for car. 

Lunch at Camea with Ole Breuning and Seth Lachterman about UTM matters. Good discussion. 

Worked more on Angry Old White Guy essay. Also some library emails about marketing.  Slow cooked beef for beef stew. 3 hrs at 215 degrees.

Spoke via Skype for 30 minutes w Torrey. He was hand holding a cellphone so his head bounced around during the whole conversation.  He and Jane are at their Christmas house above the beginning of the Great Ocean Road west of Melbourne  We talked about redefining human identity in contrast to the neoliberal concept.  Jane came into view at end  She announced that her doctors have pronounced her cancer free  Quite amazing for lung cancer that seemed quite late stage six months ago.

Drove back to Hudson in just under 2 hours. Very fast ~80 mph almost the entire way. No pit stops.

Felt poopy the rest of the day. Perhaps sensing the depression at Ed’s house. He doesn’t seem engaged in things…

Went to eye doctor in the afternoon. Schedule cataract operation for 2/7/2017. Right eye.

Thursday – 11/10/2016

Went to library. Started working on letter to Noah about his college essay. Picked up Will in the World, the Shakespeare biography. Continued to stew about the election. Maybe it is time to write an angry old white guy piece.

UTM meeting with Ole and Seth for two hours plus in the afternoon.

Karen and I attended  CGCC students on the Gotsch Papers presentation at the library. Very poor presentation skills. Might be interesting work about social mobility. Data focused on Irish immigrants in mid-19th century Hudson.
