Other Writings

Yesterday I finished reading A Sentimental Journey and Other Writings by Laurence Sterne. The titular work in it is pretty good. It has some lighter similarities with Sterne's masterwork, though not nearly to the extent or as good. The "other works" are more of a mixed bag. Some are pretty good, but for instance, it ends with several sermons and while those are okay as sermons go, they're still sermons and could be a bit of a drag to get through. In the afternoon I went to mail some things. So our tags expired yesterday, Mary Beth had ordered the replacement earlier in July but they're being slow and still haven't arrived yet. So I needed to get to the post office so I drove taking as many side streets as possible. A funny thing, when I dropped the envelope with the water bill into the mailbox, right after I dropped it in I had the realization that I think I'd forgotten to put a stamp on it! Luckily I did it inside the post office so was able to explain to them and since it was right there they found it and saw that I did forget a stamp so I was able to buy one and move on! In the evening Mary Beth and I took a walk around the neighborhood. We ended the night watching some Golden Girls.
