My day
It’s the end of a long day, and I’m not feeling very profound or creative, so I thought I would simply tell you how I spent my day. I am reminded of Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Roosevelt, who wrote a column entitled “My Day” each day of the week. These are collected in a book, in case you would like to read them.
Anyhow…..
