Got a call from librarian Ellen that the display window was cleared. Took my Our Town info there before lunch and dressed the window. Tara K., who plays Emily, happened to be there with her four-year-old and she helped me move a glass panel. The display looks pretty good, I think; see picture above. Registered four friends and me for the Zelda presentation on April 13. Naturally, we'll do lunch first.
Took Susan and Walter to Outback for dinner. Good thing I made reservations, as the place was packed. S. and W. have had me over so many times, and I haven't reciprocated, so I was glad to treat. Because I don't eat animal flesh at home, the "signature steak" I ordered tasted sublime, although I took most of it home. Had a good Merlot and a cold beer, too.
Got home a little after 8:00 to get a Skype call from son Mike, who had beauteous little Violet on his lap. Vivian was at a sleepover at a friend's house.
WIDER: Well, the peace laureate, not satisfied with the extent of his war activities elsewhere, has asssured us of more death and destruction in Libya. Just a tidbit of his amusing speech on the subject:
"I firmly believe that when innocent people are being brutalized; when someone like Gadhafi threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region, and when the international community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives — then it's in our national interest to act."
I think his speechwriters should get a raise! It's priceless to hear that we're concerned with saving "many thousands of lives," so we're going to--what? Send members of the Peace Corps over? Sit down and negotiate with Libyan leaders? Try in any other peaceful way to end the violence and lend a helping hand to the people?
Nah-h! We'll bomb the hell out of them!
Problem solved.
