A Saturday To-Do List

20 Sep 2025 » 1 min read » Filed under: Personal & Family

Well, my desk is a mess and maybe I’ll put it into some order today. I have far too many books I want to read, all of them RIGHT NOW and on a wide variety of subjects. I want to re-learn science, not how it was taught in school, but with a historical backbone to it. But having just finished Joe Posnanski’s The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini, I want to learn magic and some of its history. I want to produce an inventory and card catalog of all of my books. I want to clean out–and get rid of–the filing cabinet in my office. There is a backlog of magazine articles I want to read. I want to get a new interactive version of my reading list up on the blog. I want to complete my Vacation in the Golden Age. And this is all just from the top of my head. I need to pick something–anything–and start with that. Well, my desk is a mess and maybe I’ll put it into some order today.

    Or, seeing as how it’s Saturday, maybe you could mow the lawn, sweep off the driveway, pull out a ladder and check the roof gutters before fall weather sets in, and put the summer patio furniture away in the garage for winter. 😉
