10/07/25 Tuesday 5:45 P.M.  I chatted with a friend.  So not to be a nuisance, I am only supposed to call the friend every two days.

10/07/25 Tuesday 5:25 P.M.  I will now eat four White Castle cheeseburger sliders with a glass of watered down diet Cranberry juice.

10/07/25 Tuesday 5:15 P.M.  I went to the Greenwich Library, and I read U.S.A. Today and the Greenwich Time.  I used the bathroom there.  I then sat down briefly at the Veterans' bench.  I then sat out in the Junior Chamber of Commerce park briefly.  I then returned home.

10/07/25 Tuesday 3:45 P.M.  I rested until 3:30 P.M.  I channel surfed.  I will now go downtown again.

10/07/25 Tuesday 2:50 P.M.  I installed the Windows Updates.

10/07/25 Tuesday 2:20 P.M.  The check engine light went off on the car.  I picked up my friends from the 11:01 A.M. tree from Manhattan.  We toured the Apple store.  We went to Méli-Mélo Créperie, Juice Bar, & Café - Greenwich, CT .  I had a turkey sandwich with a glass of water.  I used the bathroom there.  We walked lower Greenwich Avenue and part way up Greenwich Avenue.  We then drove the length of Greenwich Avenue.  I then took my friends to the 1:48 P.M. train to Manhattan.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I filed this report.  I will now go outside and drink an instant coffee.

10/07/25 Tuesday 9:50 A.M.  We can not go to the beach, because in October, one still needs a beach pass.

10/07/25 Tuesday 9:45 A.M.  I went to the Greenwich Library, and none of the four newspapers that I read were available.  I then sat out briefly at the Wallace Senior and the Arts Center.  I then returned home.  My guests arrive at 11:01 A.M. on the train out of Manhattan.  It is a slow day downtown at the moment.

10/07/25 Tuesday 8:05 A.M.  I woke up at 7 A.M.  I ate my usual breakfast of pineapple chunks, fruit cocktail, Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese croissant, English muffins with Smart Balance spread, diet cranberry juice, and an instant coffee inside.   I rested until 8:00 A.M.   

10/06/25 Monday 7:05 P.M.  I watched off Amazon Prime episode 3 of, "Sandringham."  I will now shut down the HP laptop computer.  I will eat a yogurt.  I will then go to bed.

10/06/25 Monday 6:15 P.M.  The order with tracking of Track Package for Amazon.com: Framed Retro Virgin Mary Canvas Wall Art Our Lady and Child Jesus Wall Decor Picture Christian Bible Spiritual Healing Poster Print for Church Prayer Room Bedroom Living Room Artwork Home Decoration: Posters & Prints for $18.07 total arrived.  I hung it over the circuit breaker box in the living room.

10/06/25 Monday 6:00 P.M.  When I lived down South, my family attended the First Presbyterian Church every Sunday.  When my family moved to this area, we also attended the Round Hill Community Church.  At Greenwich Country Day school we also had church services every week day.  At the Taft in Watertown, Connecticut, we had Sunday Church service for the whole school at the First Congregational Church in town, but I attended the early communion service at the Anglican church on the Green.  At Lake Forest College which was a Presbyterian College, I did not attend church very much.  When my family moved back to Greenwich in June of 1973 from the Boston area, my family attended the Second Congregational Church.  When I was in Manhattan, I had friends that attended St. Bartholomew's Church on the North Side of the Waldorf Astoria.  Once when I came back to Greenwich in December 1983, I attended a church event at the Round Hill Community Church, when Bishop Moore from St. John's Cathedral spoke at the Round Hill Community Church.  I also had a friend in Manhattan whose family owned the Limestone Quarry in Bloomington, Indiana that supplied the Limestone for St. John's in Manhattan and the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.  I also once attended Christmas Eve service at Christ Church in Greenwich, and then I drove into St. John's to attend the Christmas Eve service there.  For years I was on a night schedule, so I was not awake in the daytime on Sundays to attend church.  On my five trips to Europe, I explored a number of churches, and on the last trip in 1992, I went to Notre Dame in Paris, France.  There were also a lot of Quakers out on Nantucket.

10/06/25 Monday 5:45 P.M.  The last time I went to church was for a relative's wedding about five years ago.  I personally believe in practicing religion privately at home.  When one tries to go to church, they frequently try to involve one in other non religious activities.  Still as I get older I might need the friendship of other Christians in my own way or whatever comes along.

10/06/25 Monday 5:00 P.M.  I channel surfed.  I will now eat four White Castle cheeseburger sliders with a glass of watered down diet cranberry juice.
