Plutarch, Playdates, and Perceptiveness

Three Good Things for the day:

1. I started the Ten Years of Reading in the Great Books of the Western World series.  I found my notes from 2002, and I had read the first few readings by Plato and Aristotle, so now I'm on Plutarch.  Last night I read about Lycurgus.  The Spartans really were the Soviets of the ancient world, weren't they?


2. I exchanged phone numbers and email addresses with my next door neighbor, who seems very nice and has two young kids.  I'm going to invite her to my party.  I'm really working on this making friends thing.


3. When Adam came home from work, he immediately saw what kind of a day I had had, and promptly did the dishes.  What a man!
