Final jeopardy

The rest of Sunday was pretty easy. I listened to some James Taylor on my computer, I did administrative paperwork and checked Moodle for new assignments. It finally stopped raining and I took the dog for a long walk in the dark. I never listen to the radio in the evening. I don't know why.
But when I went down to make breakfast in the morning, I felt the complete silence again. usually I like quiet, but this seems to have a "dead" quality, as I think I mentioned once before. it was very hard not to turn on npr and hear a friendly rational voice. But I did not. I fetched the Times instead and got absorbed in that. Since breakfast i have really been too busy to notice. It is sunny s i took my paperwork outdoors for awhile. I almost never listen outdoors. I think I am repeating myself.

Did I cheat?? Not really, though a few times I did switch on the radio and once it took a few minutes to become aware of what I had done reflexively. I did go to several other sources for news and information. They are all sources I would use anyway, but maybe I spent a bit more time with them. Honestly, I think it was easier to avoid npr becasue they are doing fundraising this week. I didn;t know it was this week when I chose npr, but i feel like that is cheating a little because who wants to listen to fundraising, really?
I am really looking forward to discussing our blogs with everyone in class tomorrow. I already have more plans for blogging activities.
