I get email from Amazon about 3 times a week. My local grocery sends
me a list every Sunday of the things we buy that are on sale the
coming week. Their specials week starts on Sunday. I also log into
their specials for the week to see if there is anything we really,
really need (want).

It has been a riot this week. I have gotten notices about a Paul
McCartney concert from Amex, Ticketmaster and Time Warner, the venue.
Two were superfluous since I bought tickets after the first notice. My
son and DIL wanted to go and I decided that I would like to see him.
DIL called later that day to see if I could get another ticket for her
son who thought it might be a nice idea to see him in person before he
quit touring.

I need to have my own book sale. I have more books than I have places
to put them. I really need to go through them and decide what I want
to keep and the ones that one reading will suffice.
