I was walking down a street I don't normally walk down, and there was an elderly man and heavy middle aged women struggling to move a bookcase to the sidewalk. They would move it an inch then stop and look really frustrated. I stopped, offered to help and ten seconds later we had that sucker on the sidewalk. I love doing stuff like that and I bet those folks will remember that stranger who moved their bookcase.

There is a chance I might see it flying on the back of a 747 as I am in the flight path to JFK.

I picked up a copy of the paperback version of the book. I am skimming the book and seeing a number of items that were Quiz room questions, like Queens Alexandra's Birdwing which is the largest butterfly.

I put in a request yesterday on findagrave.com and a volunteer took pictures today. These were my father's parents who died before I was born. My father never mentioned much about them and he has also passed away. Last year I found information about them online and eventually found out where they were buried. The photos were of simple flat grave markers. I am glad I did this, as I always had an idea about finding about them. Even though I never met them, I believe they are watching over me.

I saw a propeller airplane flying today. It wasn't a little propeller plane sometimes used by commuter airlines. It was a large 4 engine propeller airplane that you might have seen in the 1940s but this one looked new. It flew directly overhead so I couldn't see if it had any markings. Maybe it was a military plane because I don't think any regular airlines use large propeller planes.

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you

I added my grandparents to findagrave.com. They died about ten years before I was born so I don't know much about them. Last year I got the cemetery information from the funeral home which was used and is still in business. The funeral director told me that the cemetery is very big and it can be difficult to find graves even with the plot information. Find a grave has a feature where you can request a photo of a grave on the site, as they have people who volunteer to take pictures at various cemeteries. I put in a request and will see what happens. There may be some interesting information from that. For example, my grandparents are buried in different sections even though they died about a year apart. I don't know why.

Too many sad days
Too many Tuesday mornings
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
And I dreamt you were dressed in mourning

But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning
