1. It's been fun remembering my pleasure when I read the books I'm packing up to donate to Better World Books -- a Certified B Corporation that advances the causes of sustainability and literacy globally through its sales of mostly donated used books and other materials. I've been a customer of Better World Books for about fifteen years and always been very happy with their selections and the condition of the used books I've purchased from them.
2. As I worked my way through the bookshelves, I'd forgotten about a few items I had in my possession. One example connects with the presence of Leonard Oakland in my life lately, mainly through his Sunday morning radio program.
I'd forgotten that a few years ago I bought a DVD of the movie A Thousand Clowns, a movie Leonard was very excited about. On a movie night in Cowles Auditorium at Whitworth about fifty years ago, Leonard introduced this movie with great passion and insight and then not only did the movie live up to his enthusiasm, it became one of my favorite movies of all time.
I was thrilled today to remember I'd purchased it and that this project I'm working on resulted in me unearthing it. I played the opening ot the movie and WOW! can I ever hardly wait to watch the whole thing again.
3. We had a fun snack-y dinner tonight. On a whim, Debbie bought a package of jalapeno poppers that the meat department at Yoke's puts together. I enjoyed the heat, cheese, and bacon. I continue to work my way through the vegetables Debbie cut up the other day to make salads with. Cool salad. Spicy poppers. Everything in balance!
