    Bikram, as usual. Another great class.  I went to Costco for gas and then to Home Depot to pick up 3M synthetic steel wool.  I had some at home for some sandpapering project.  I opened up a package and decided to use it to clean the soap off the tile in my shower.  The fine grade was working well on the tile and very well on the glass shower door. I decided to look for the coarser grade.  When I got home, I immediately opened that package and tried it on my tile and on my natural stone on my shower floor.  Wow! I can’t recommend it enough.

    I checked out bisque colored toilets on Amazon first. Yes, they carry one on Prime to boot, but they don’t ship to Hawaii. Then I got on the Home Depot site to order the American Cadet model.  Same thing. They don’t ship to Hawaii.  I will have to order it through the customer service desk.  Of course, if the shipping for the $276 toilet is another $500, I may have to pass.  Mike probably never considered the color of the toilet because he was color blind on the red/green spectrum.

    I checked my email.  Matthew Horowitz, the librarian at St. Patrick’s seminary, got back to me. He wants 965 books. I don’t think I need to get another seminary involved for a while. I forwarded Matthew’s email to John Coughlin.  He said this is quite a project.  No, Mike left me with quite an undertaking; Matthew’s request list is part of the solution. 

    I spoke to Damon about all the ‘stuff’ Mike left the other day.  I said I didn’t want to leave the next generation with this problem.  He giggled. Ah, he would order a few dumpsters.  He said I’m doing this because I’m concerned about what he will do when I die.  He’s right.

    I did a lot of work on the blog, took a nap, and did some reading of the NY Times.

             I slept well and was up before the alarm went off.  In June, it was light at 5:30, but now, it is not so much.  Being close to ...
