I studied some Russian, organized, and worked down my email backlog.

College football: watched OSU-Michigan, and other games.  I might note I have followed the OSU-Michigan game since 1952, when OSU won 27-7 (Dad went there).

Sharon and Valerie went shopping, and we ate dinner at the Wine Bar in River.

Friday 28 November 2014:variety!

In the AM, I moved our engine stand over to Ed Mayer’s,  we assembled it, and mounted his new 1275 on it:

Then Ed and his brother in law came over, and helped me move Mini into her corner for the winter:

Mechanics, message, Russian, and a ballet – what a day!

I had a Russian lesson with Daniil at Troubadour, and Sharon cooked spaghetti for dinner at home.

I cleaned the pantry floor, as that was much needed, and did the dinner dishes.

Friday 21 November 2014: A dose of the clap, and two new books!

Last  year I bought 3 clappers (turn on/office appliances with a double clap) for Sharon, and today we installed the second in the bedroom – so she can turn out the bedside lamp.

I studied Russian, and my check for the election day help from the BOE arrived!

We went to Crocker Park, bought new clothes for me at Banana Republic and Shoes for Sharon at Clarks.  At B&N, I spend my pay on new w8 and  Russian books.
We had dinner at ccf.
