I had the TV on all night long and awoke to the gentle sounds of Mr. Rogers.
Here he is, wearing his sweater and talking to Mr McFeeley.
This put a smile on my face!
Then off I went, walking around the hilly neighborhood.
Saw a lantern fly on the ground, but didn't stomp on him.
When I awoke, here's the first thought I had:
When I die, who is gonna clear out my house.
I have so much stuff. Beloved things.
...
On a notepad in the kitchen, I wrote down "Make curry for lunch." That's Amy's curry. Scott buys me all my food.
...
My oatmeal was delicious for breakfast. Peanut butter for protein, a sprinkling of pecans, frozen blueberries.
Then I wrote out a donation for ACLU. Can't believe I never gave to them before!
It stands for American Civil Liberties Union.
Let's do dat again, it's easy to forget.
American Civil Liberties Union.

Received a notice from Legacy.com reminding folks that it was the 6th anniversary of Stephen Weinstein's death. He died on August 23, 2014.
...
POEM: DEAR STEPHEN --
Plant a tree for you, suggests Legacy.com
Stephen, we live in a different world since
you, a smoker, died six years ago.
Certainly we still receive automated messages
concocted "just for us"
You'd be trumped to realize who's in the general election
Joe Biden, once a rake, like in Pilgrim's Progress, as you
were too, before Arleen caught you on the rebound
I still have your picture on the wall in my Writing Room
with a photo of Dubai, luckily you didn't hear about
the Prince championing the death of an enemy by
... you never liked violence, so I'll remain mum,
and remember Thou as kind, compassionate, smart
and a man for all the people.
