Thursday, April 20

6:21 a.m. - Yesterday was a great day.  I filled the LP tanks at Blick N Blick in the morning, and then I went to my appointment and my eyes are okay...no changes in eye pressures, which is good.  Then I went to the Rock Island Historical Society and learned a little about conducting research there.  I went old school and just took in pen and paper with me.  One particular folder of newspaper clippings had a lot of information about Loud Thunder, so I spent most of my time with that.  Then we had softball at Annawan, which went fine.

Today is assignment due day.  That means of course that I have emails from students waiting for me complaining or stressed out that they didn't do something right or didn't get done or something didn't work - this all of course after squandering time earlier in the week.  So I will need to breathe deep and just go with the flow.  Later today it's softball at Moline if the weather doesn't go sour, which it's forecast to do.
