(10pm) Erica stopped by to do some typing. (Neat!)

(1am) The Rhino Xmas party was great! (I did pretty well. (I talked to several people, danced a little, and sang a little.)) (The food and drink were great!) (I got a $50 bonus. (Neat!))
I stopped in the strip joint on my way home. (Yum!)

(5pm) TGIF!
(8pm) One book idea that has come to me after talking to a number of older folks over in Anaconda is to go over and interview a lot of them. (They have got some great stories and it would be neat to save them before they are lost.)
(10pm) Regardless of whether I compare myself to most of our brothers and sisters now or in the past, I still have to accept that I live like royalty. (Compared to the models on tv I live in poverty, but tv is just trying to sell stuff and isn’t reflective of reality.) (Compared to most though, to have running water, indoor plumbing, heat, food, court jesters on tv, stereo, …, is to be among the privileged elite of the world.) (I need to learn to appreciate what I have!)
Another thought I am pondering on is the difference between anarchy and tyranny. (They are opposites and tend to breed each other. (All attempts to exercise power will result in an equal and countervailing force.)) (Anarchy is no laws and in tyranny you have laws, but no one knows what they are.)

(8pm) Erica stopped by for a bowl and a brew. (Neat!)
It sounds like things still aren’t working out for Erica to work for her brother over in Anaconda. (It could be nice, but it doesn’t seem to be happening.)
(10pm) Joe stopped by to watch a boxing match on cable. (We had a nice chat!)
He says my ex has four kids now. (Amazing!)
