I got fooled by an Internet article. The Onion's spoof of Neil Armstrong's "renunciation" was picked up and played like it was a real story. I ran across one such article and took it for legitimate copy. Got me! And probably a few others. I must remember--never believe anything on the Internet at first blush. Do the research!

Watched a frightening film by Roman Polanski called Repulsion. It was a dreary, grinding film about a woman's slide into insanity. The film was well done but hard to watch. I don't think I've seen any other of his films except Rosemary's Baby--which I remember only half watching because it was so grotesque. His life story is a saga in its own right.

Cool today (almost cold this morning). I got up this morning (with the help of the neighbors) and went back to sleep until about 2PM. I then managed to get up and out for a while and ponder some regarding my living situation. Have to seriously think about moving somewhere/some place. Started looking at PA's subsidized rental options. Keeping an eye/ear tuned to various options. Will see/hear what develops.

Realized today (through some kind of mental reconnection) that I had met Steve Chu, the US secretary of energy. It was when he was here at Stanford and was married to his first wife. It was before he won the Nobel. I went to a couple of gatherings at his house on campus. Small world!
