Didn't want to leave the apartment today. Was feleing melancholy, lonely...but went to Homewood Library…to Lulu site to update my book project. Had to look up formatting requirements.

Pat and I to apartment party in Mt. Brook – free pizza and drawing for prizes. I saw an old man with white beard – older than me – and a couple of women (one from India) about our age – so everyone in these apartments is not younger than we are.

To Walmart – bought new trash can for kitchen, a red one.

Also, online, read some history of Germany. I'm trying to grasp the ups & downs, ins & outs of that history, especially in regard to the Jewish people.

I've been thinking lately that my view of 'God' is similar to Jefferson's, Lincoln's, and Einstein's: not an interventionist, but source of Order, Harmony, Design, and Justice. Not so much 'a being' as the atmosphere of existence itself. God is to existence/universe as oxygen is to us.
