Emptying My Mind
Good morning in office. Lots of work on the media kit and museum program.

Went to lunch at one with Kathy. We drove down to the Boulder’s and had lunch there with my signature card (she bought, $26 debit card).

Picked up my pickup from Tobias ($110 for dome light switch and flat tire, house debit).

Finished copy for Butch and Sundance Buy The Farm in Bolivia. Need to email it to Dan Buck for corrections.

Worked until around seven on finishing up the year 2000 in my daytimer journal entries. Really excruciating stuff, with [one of my partners] hating everyting we were doing. Don’t know how much of this I can actually put up on the website. I don’t mind the personal stuff about me (it is quite embarrassing in spots) but it’s pretty raw about some of my ex-employees and may upset others. Plus, is it libelous?
Started reading Sandra Day O’Connor’s “Lazy B” (Bob Brink lent me his copy). Really interesting and, of course, my mother’s family was from the Duncan area so it has a strong pull on me in that regard.
