TBW Daily Diary

Last night's big game was a disappointment. The loss of the Texas quarterback early on took away all the fizz. I fell asleep in the third quarter and didn't learn the outcome until this morning . . . Retired teacher Jack Brandt finds retirement boring so he is headed back to college (HAAC) to study Spanish. How do you say "good luck" in Spanish? Judy Robinson would know; she tutors students in the language . . . Made an effort to clean my computer keyboard this afternoon. If you know an easy way to do this, I hope you will share with the rest of us. The monitor screen isn't as bad as it used to be. Bob would ask what all the little "dots" were all over it and I had to admit that I didn't know. We eventually realized they were JJ's fingerprints as he pointed to icons, etc. Now that he uses the mouse the prints have all but disappeared . . . Bob finished storing our Christmas decorations at the house. The place always looks so bare for a few weeks after the holidays . . . Bob turns 70 on January 20th. The closer the date the more depressed he becomes. It happens every birthday. We originally considered a big party but that has been scuttled and Bob plans to hibernate. Perhaps that is not such a bad idea considering the weather . . .
