Well, here we are again, waiting for the repairman to arrive, sometime between 6 and 12.  I guess there is no way to predict with great accuracy how long a job will take, and I guess that everyone who comes after us will feel the same.  Still, I wish there was a better way.  I'm still trying to understand what the pig is saying in that commercial as he is sliding down the wire in the forest.  I actually understood it last night, but then I lost it when I fell asleep.  I listened to it again, but I still don't understand.  Just like the young woman climbing the mountain.  She is accompanied by a singer who's words are unintelligible.  Just like in the days of the Bandstand program, it has a catchy rhythm, but the words aren't much, I give it a 50.  Went swimming at the Y for the first time yesterday.  The experience was great in the mid afternoon and I plan to go again today.  I guess you can say that once you try something you'll like it.  Mary is out with Sugar for the morning walk.  Sugar got a new bed yesterday, and she finally slept in it.  As I think I noted, she was avoiding the one she had.  Who really knows, but if there is a dog whisperer, I would want him or her to tell me what Sugar's motivation was. Guess we will never know.  Oh well, time to return to my novel.  Later.
