Busily buzzed around yesterday, but darned if I can remember much of what I did. Bought salad ingredients and made a large one, plus chicken drumsticks and baked them. Went to Manahawkin on errands. Continued reading the bio about Irving Thalberg, which is very well done. My Joyce Carol Oates interest is waning, but I'll finish her book of short stores. Have a few other books going, also. Other than that mundane stuff--busy, busy doing very little--nothing of much interest going on.

And here's another from my pal, Rob Payne:

Rob includes the following--a gem!
"People often discuss the U.S. government as if it is a democracy which is made up of two different parties. These people are entirely wrong. There are really three parties. One party is the Pentagon and the other is Wall Street. Everyone else belongs to the loser party. Call it what you will but you lose. They win."
