Feb 7 Ham radio

I finally sat down and learned how to program my ham radio.

Finished the books

I received two other books in the mail that I also read. I think I learned a lot.

Jan 24, New book reading

Last Saturday I attended a workshop on creative writing. On Tuesday, I received two books on writing science fiction and fantasy. I learned many things that will help in my writing.

I likes Orson Scott Card's book so well, I ordered another one of his books.

Jan 19, Blood pressure measuring

Today was the first time I have ever taken my blood pressure with our home blood pressure measuring machine. My blood pressure is 122 over 83 with a pulse rate of 76. Not bad, considering a just came back from a long walk at the bike trail.

Jan. 18 Control of Van stereo system

This is another case of not understanding short instructions. The back-light on the van's entertainment was too bright at night. It turns out the Auto setting really does work in Automatic.
This is a long story.

Jan. 16 Temple Day

Spent all day riding a bus to and from the Temple and five hours in the Temple. Didn't necessarily learn anything new but I was reminded of important things.

Jan. 15, SCIFI story technicque

They say if you read good stories you can become a better writer.

I read story that used a "flashback" very effectively. The story starts out with the protagonist in a burning building. The rest of the story explains why he set fire to the building.

Maybe I'll use a similar technique sometime.
