Luckily it’s a pleasant day, cooler than yesterday and the rain held off. I watched the ceremony online.

Was intrigued by the Phi Beta Kappa speaker’s deeply introspective oration, so much so that I transcribed it. Several recent cultural references, like “What are your Whys” and James Baldwin’s “The Creative Process”.

My restless crazed monkey brain keeps me from figuring out my Whys. I get to “Survival” and come to a dead stop.

Ron did laundry.

The new bar code reader from eBay arrived yesterday; I confirmed that it can read and write to a document on the PC. Word’s barcode generator works great. Last week I figured out .bat files and database backup programming, this week maybe I’ll make progress on populating the orders table with barcode readings.

Rain started in the afternoon and continued for a while. Pollen was heavy, hoped at least some of it washed away.

Ron made corn for supper!
