I'm starting the entry today while seated in my recliner. The notebook's on my lap as my main machine is rather busy recording from the PVR. I'm capturing some of the half-hour, weekly Singhala-language programs that were recorded during recent weeks. They are produced in Canada and aired on a Toronto channel. After these shows become mpeg files, I can easily burn to DVD for saving or perhaps for sending to Jay's brother in New York.It's only 4:50 right now but I have a slight sense of foreboding. Things are not ominous, I merely have a slightly unsettled feeling. It has come from a day off. I finished my goal of turning in my passport application earlier. Now, I'm just here on this July day that looks a lot more like one from March. It's gray but not cold. It rained a lot earlier and remains unsettled.
Several other factors beside the weather are probably contributing to my current state of mind. First, both of my classes will wind down next week. I've been waiting for quite some time to be free from work commitments and it's finally going to come crashing to a close next Friday. Also, to begin the week, I turn 48 on Monday. I've never ever been bothered much by birthdays but somehow this one seems mildly more important.
