Before

Before getting around to blogging I knew exactly what I would say. After working through the steps to get set up I don't have a clue about what to do next.

I'm reading and interesting book, "Always Time to Die," by Elizabeth Lowell ... has some genealogy that is rare in the mysteries I've read over the last few years. About 4 years ago I began a notebook of the books I read ... so I won't buy the paper back again. I will re-read fiction until I happen to remember the ending. If I don't remember the ending I read the whole thing.

A few days ago I ordered several Loebs Classics ... Plato: The Republic, Aristotle: Art of Rhetoric, and Aristotle: The Athenian Constitution.

I know it's a little late in life to begin a classic education, but knowing a little more surely can't hurt. And I've never been confident of my understanding of Rhetoric. I probably should have known this when I was raising children.

And if all this gets too heavy, I'll work a few sudoku's while watching baseball.
