Bought a leather jacket in Ebay. It stinks so of cigarettes that I can’t stand to have it in the room with me.

Discussion in Lit class of what we should have studied instead of what we did. The idea that one can read things on one’s own is not big with my students. I think that I remember our having a clear idea of what was going to be presented in class, and what we would have to get on out own (for me at the time Kerouac, Tolkien, Wolfe, contemporary poetry), but the world has changed since then.

Bought a bookcase and a new dining room set. It cost almost exactly what I made from the Sun weekend. That is economy. Planted exotic cobra lilies and two kind of flowering maple.
