Friday I saw the Declaration of Independence musical 1776 (for maybe the third time) in the History Meetup watch party. Back in 1972 a movie with the Founding Fathers singing didn't "play in Peoria," but it's pretty intelligent overall.
I'm glad John's home improvement project still brings him to our house. Now he's been doing more basement work to prepare for a new sump pump. On the weekend we were toting more earth up to the back yard. Today we were mixing concrete again, but we didn't do enough to get bored with it.
This evening Sergey and Maria had me over for dinner, which they say they've never done before with any friends! Afterward we got dessert at an East Asian shop called HK Sweets. Then we played that card game like Scrabble whose name I can never remember (Quidditch or something) across the street in front of the building that was originally Montgomery's Tavern. Unfortunately, it got too cool for me. (Should have worn a sweater!)
Got my new credit card today. I've started writing down my everyday expenditures as an experiment, but there isn't much to worry about: my bank account has gone from some $3000 to some $5000 in recent months, what with not going out much to buy stuff.
I really like the book version of Little Women. The chapter where Jo wouldn't forgive Amy for burning her book of stories Jo had written hit home with me, as I have a tendency to hold grudges. Jo and her mother had a wonderful "heart to heart" conversation where the latter confessed that she'd once had her own anger problems.
