Dear Diary

Got sidetracked from Delia Bacon to Thomas Jefferson. I'd never read Jefferson, always kept him in mind as the greatest founder for writing the Declaration of Independence. So strange how reading him now at this age, is so pleasing. I wonder if anyone has done a good book on tape, not sure I'd even listen; the words/writing would no doubt be diminished in another voice. I've been searching for where he recognizes the convention clause, but sadly have not yet found it; seems he was more concerned with the executive branch becoming a federalist monarchy. On another note, I put chapter 3 in a word counter and found out that it's 55 pages of fine-hewn text. Kind of exciting. All I have to do is complete it, and I'm done. I left some phone message on the machine of my Muse some weeks ago. Wondering if I should recite a poem. I want to read to her that recent big poem, Ode to the Rose, because I always use her as inspiration, that she might like it. Though I often wonder where she is, how she is, and if she's happy, but more thoughts are coming to my mind she's another sleepwalker in Disneyland and I've been blackballed from there. Lots of stuff going on in the world, at least we all get to wake up to the beauty of Sun and Earth.
