Wednesday 28- I did my stretches, ran a mile, rode my bike, and lifted weights.

Ron Dehart called asking if I was going to the store and if I was if I could mail an important letter from the post office for him. I told him that I wasn’t going that way but if I could use his truck I would gladly mail it for him. When I arrived at Ron’s he had a list of stuff to buy for him at Staters Bros too. I went to the post office and got that taken care of then I went to Staters where it took me an hour trying to find the stuff he had on the list he handed me. Dang, when I shop it takes me 15 minutes because I know what I want and go directly to them. But his list had me go to the deli, the meat department, and to the vegetable section; places I seldom visit. I was lucky to remember what I needed to get for myself. I got back to his house after 4pm and we had dinner of the chicken we both purchased.
I spent a little time showing him how to work Google Voice and also Hulu; he’s a little slow on the computer but he makes up for it with what he cooks. Me, if it isn’t in a can I get lost.
I got back home around 6pm and did a little watering of the plants I missed yesterday and also filled up the critter’s water bowls and the cement pond.
I did a bunch of webwork that kept me busy for a spell. About the time I was ready to quit Andrew called and we spent over an hour getting caught up on the events in our lives.
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.

After checking my email and reading the “headlines” to find out what’s going on in this fine world of ours, I setup my video camera in the living room and recorded a song I wrote. Unfortunately I didn’t have the microphone turned up and I also recorded it with half my head missing. Then I tried editing the video on my MacBook with iMovie. The user interface wasn’t very intuitive, unlike Movie Maker on XP, and I finally gave up for the day.
I watered some of my plants and went for my evening walk with my camera. I only took one pic.
I watched a fantastic movie called “The Road” (2009) about a man and his son who are on a journey to the ocean through a post apocalyptic world where food is scarce and there are cannibals. Excellent film!!!!!
I did my stretches, went for a night run, and lifted weights. I practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
