zondag 15 november 2009 Up at 4:06. Turn on BBC News. Listen to an interview of the author of The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power - Daniel Yergin with Peter Day. It's amazing how oil started... just for illumination. In 1870, John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company and aggressively ran it to gradually erode the dominance of kerosene for illumination. Fall back to sleep until 8:00. Nice. Left-over spaghetti and fried egg for breakfast. Bath. Check NPR in San Antonio to see how the marathon is going. Elvis is at the starting line.

Listen to WAIT, WAIT! Oh, my. Rufus Wainwright plays 'Not My Job.'

And I listen to A Prairie Home Companion. It's their pre-Thanksgiving show. Walk over to Whole Foods get some salad bar. Drop off stuff. Catch a #43 up to Cal Anderson Park and walk down Pike to my place. Check on Jeremiah's progress. Finish - 5:27:43!

Listen to KUOW programs. Michael and Gregg stop to pick me up and drive over to Alana's place. We hang out and chat for a while. Alana calls herself a Ju-Bu. There really such a term. Watch movies - Battlestar Galactica: The Plan and V. Nice on a rainy night... Cylons and alien invaders.
