Line from Seinfeld.... in These titles mean nothing.

…Elaine to Jerry:

Just when I think you are the most shallow* man on earth, you let some more water out of the pool.

That means nothing. I mean nothing.

The day is getting over. I still have to go to town and buy some groceries and put gas in the car.

It’s been a quiet day. I’m reading my Updike bio. No big surprises. Still he’s been my friend since high school. We have shared the same life. Well our lives have been a lot different but still it’s been the same years that have been going by.

Quiet week in Lake Woebegone. We had weather. Wind and clouds and sunshine and a little snow. We have cats and a dog. The cows are outside. While I was up last night watching Updike interviews on Youtube, I heard the bulls arguing. I told Jim they sounded upset but he determined they were where they were supposed to be and eventually they quieted down.

We have some Harper’s magazines Jim brought home from lunch out with a friend. Been a while since I read Harper’s. It’s still good. Still lots to read. I got an offer in the mail to get back in New Yorker good graces. At least I would have something to trade back for the Harper’s. We have been magazine-less the last year or so. We gave them up because we spend too much time on the internet. That’s true. Jim said he misses the New Yorker archives on the net which are not available if we do not get the actual dead tree version of the magazine.

I am pretty much non-committed. Yup, that’s me. I don’t care much. Don’t care at all. Status-quo is good enough.

Good enough for most things. Except I have to get up and go out to the car and drive it to town and buy groceries and gas. Yup, I gotta do that.

I had ‘shallowest’ but I went back and changed it to ‘most shallow’. I think I like ‘shallowest’ better.. .. it’s more conversational but ‘most shallow’ seems a little more educated. I’m sure you all noticed. Or would have noticed.
There - I’ve used up my whole day’s quota of single quotation marks. Or were they apostrophes?
