Yesterday I was surprised by a phone call from CBC Radio informing me that I had won a prize! I don't win prizes very often and it was very pleasant news, as I don't have much money flowing in these days. My youngest son plans to marry his fiancee this fall, so I am going to give them the lovely Reader's Digest Gardening book, which is valued at $50. I didn't get much work yesterday or today. So, I have been fooling around on the internet most days. I purchased some software a few months ago that enables a person to record old records and tapes onto the computer in digital format. I have been experimenting with it.

It is so difficult not to spend money every day one sets foot in a store. This evening I went to Walmart to buy milk and look at music CDs. I found a package of 3 CDs in a set for $10. I like only one out of three of the CDs, but for $10 I can't complain. I guess I will end up trying to sell the others at a garage sale or something. The music is too obscure for my taste. The one I like is actually Mozart - Eine Kleine Nactmusik. Most people recognize the melody, even if they don't consider themselves to be lovers of classical music.

While I am typing this I am listening to Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring from CBC Thunder Bay. It is marvelous that a person can sit in a small town on Vancouver Island and chose to listen to CBC Thunder Bay, Ontario rather than CBC Vancouver or Victoria. This is one of the wonders of computer technology.

I have a full day's work for tomorrow, so I best get to bed at a decent hour. Nice to be able to know that too, since I can check the night before from my computer (over the internet) the line up of work for tomorrow.

Signing off for tonight.
