Comming up

May 12th is the 45th aniversary of my daily journal. It began Monday May 12th 1980. Richard suggested I start what he called a "magical diary." It was supposed to be about my occult experiences and experiments. I interpeted it as a daily diary about everday life. This was when commercial computers were just hitting the market. I could have started this diary on my Atari 130xe. A word processsor was only ~ C $60. Imagine my diaries all on disk from november 1987? Wow.

I woke up this morning ~ 8:30 feeling ok. Anne shortly after when crews began testing the alarms. We're getting ~ 2 burssts of 4 beeps per suite. We get that for every suite in the buildng All 350 units, uggh. It's scaring our cats. I have my head phones and shades. The alarm device sends out a strobe light each time it flashes.. The good news is they will be done by 4pm

The Edmonton Oilers are in Vegas tonight for game 1. Its a beautiful day. Oilers will lose tonight but will find a way to make it work before game #4 and hopefully Oilers in 6. I'll be able to watch the full game. I have chips; pop, a place we can afford. Life is good.
