Today I am tired and sore, and I have not finished the tile job yet.  However, the new tenant has laid tile professionally and helped me yesterday.

Setting here in my easy chair this morning, I was ruminating about being on the threshold of my "twilight" years and realized that I am losing interest in public affairs such as politics.  It seems that so many problems exist and so much is wrong in the world and especially in the U.S. I just do not have the energy to try to do anything about it.  It seems that so many people are unaware, or do not care, about what is happening.

Maybe tomorrow I will be more optimistic, my usual state of mind.
