YESTERDAY'S ENTRY

June 30: I'm still in the lowest gear possible, so just have part of the cover of the book I most liked as a boy:

My father had it when it was new. That was 1913. Author: Sherwood Dowling. About him, I know nothing, not even if that was his real name. It's a wonderfully low-key story about some boys given a submarine that the neighborhood inventor had built and running a little business with it, giving rides to other children in the neighborhood. The biggest adventure that the "submarine chums" are involved in occurs when they discover some older boys fishing out of season. I've always been bemused by its not ever being mentioned as a classic. It was in a series with at least one other book that I've never gotten a copy of.

I'll be using its cover, I'm pretty sure, in the mathemaku I'm currently working on. If not in it, in poem of mine, for sure.

TODAY'S ENTRY

July 1: I'm blogged out, plus my phone link is lousy: it took me four hours to get on the Internet today. So, I'm taking a vacation from this blog. It will be for at least a week. It may be the month of July. It's not impossible that it will be permanent, but I doubt that. My blessings on all of you who will be bothered by this.

Note: I was so blogged out when I wrote this that I somehow failed to post it until now, 2 July 2008.
