1. I needed some money from an ATM, so I gave myself a good walk and went to SELCO and enjoyed taking pictures along the way. I looked at the pictures in the evening and didn't think much of them, so I'm wondering if I am in another picture taking slump or if it was my end of the day fatigue. I'll look at them again when I'm rested.
2. I got some small chores done around the house: raking leaves, putting a pile near the curb for pick up, putting others in garden beds as winter mulch, checking gutters. One of the things I like about my retired life is that I can chip away at these chores and not have to do them all at once on the weekends.
3. So. Saturday morning, Russell, Mary, and I were at the 5th Street Market waiting for Pure to open and an instrumental Beatles song came on. The market was playing KRVM as background sound. I couldn't remember the name of the tune, but said I thought it was from the soundtrack for A Hard Day's Night. Identifying that song was becoming a minor obsession. This evening, barely in tune, I croaked out the opening measure of the tune for the Deke. She's a genius. She was able to tell from the terrible sounds coming from my throat that the song was "This Boy". I looked into it more and then RIGHT, now I remember. On the soundtrack album, it was called "Ringo's Theme". For whatever reason, A Hard Day's Night was the only Beatles album I ever owned and that particular track just got to me when I was eleven years old and it was a great relief to have the ingenious help of the Deke to figure out the name of the tune and to look into how it was used in A Hard Day's Night.
