Tuesday Night

I submitted a teaching application, and feel sort of exhausted by the whole process. Two of the three professional letters of recommendation were from parents of kids that I've tutored. That was my fallback position, when I learned that my most recent employer doesn't write recommendations. I did my best, and I've read this is becoming common, but I was counting on a boost from them.

I started another batch of cider, right after bottling the prior batch. I'll have the luxury of letting this last batch really sit in the secondary fermenter. It may be months before it's bottled.

The dogs have been good, and lately I've let Pogi even run outside the fence without a leash. He's been minding me, and has been exhibiting the best behaviour. I've spent five years training him, so now I get the payback.

And wood! I picked up a load of oak fire wood that I found on the way to the store. Enough for the few out side fires I'll have this winter.
