I am very glad to be home after all of those finals. It is a very simple condition, that of being in a certain location, but is one of the most powerful conditions there is. It is very cold here, even though winter does not start for approximately 2 days.

Opportunities abound, now that the semester has come to a close. I saw many people in my few travels today.

I also have many things to do now that I am home. I need to purchase a new alarm clock. I am thinking something vintage– like a 1930’s “Big Ben” clock from Westclox– or maybe a Wehrle “Commander.” I would be interested in finding out where I could purchase a nice alarm clock. Preferrably all mechanical.
