Drank: German red wine
Reading: The Swimming Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurst
Listened to: The Magical Mystery Tour
Watched: Tootsie, for the umpteenth time
Saw: A thin spot on my husband’s head of rich dark hair
Discarded: Underwear neither my daughter nor I could claim with confidence
Acquired: New wine glasses, which I did not need
Failed: Draft #17
Triumphed: The dog, hopelessly lugged along on a visit, made friends with our friends’ cat, Madame Curie, then wolfed down all her food
Found: A gorgeous stick stripped of its bark
Received: Half a bar of soap from Ursula (mistress of Madame Curie)
Visited: Arithmeum museum of calculating machines, Bonn
Observed: I really need a driver’s license if I expect to go anywhere.
Word of the week: Resplendent (“Sitting outside at the End of Autumn,” Charles Wright)
Pithiness of the week: “The US dumbing-down that is seizing Germany more and more is one of the gravest consequences of the war.” - Albert Schweizer (seen on the wall of one of my husband’s Italian students, an 80-year old former nun who lives in the woods)

Love your list of the week. I also love Tootsie, and this makes me want to see it again.
