December 2023 has arrived and it did so with warmer temperatures, wind, and rain.

I completed the bedroom | study closet swap, yesterday, and spent this morning finishing up the organization. I like how it has all come together.

I spent some time with Laura, this afternoon, eating at a Mexican restaurant across from Wright State University. Back home, I organized a large bin of extension cords, cell phone cords, etc., all while listening to Ron Chernow’s, WASHINGTON, which I am very much enjoying. I am hoping to begin Chernow’s HAMILTON, soon after.

Tomorrow I hope to finish up the organization of the two rooms before heading down to Schuster to house manage CANADIAN BRASS.

On this date in history: (2000) Vicente Fox was inaugurated as president of Mexico, ending the dominance of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which had ruled since 1929. (1959) The Antarctic Treaty was signed by 12 countries, making the Antarctic continent a demilitarized zone to be preserved for scientific research. (1955) This day in 1955, in violation of segregation laws in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger and was arrested, sparking a 381-day bus boycott led by Martin Luther King, Jr. (1913) The world’s first moving assembly line debuted, used in manufacturing Model Ts at a Ford factory in Highland Park, Michigan; the innovation was the idea of owner Henry Ford, and it revolutionized the auto industry. (1814) General Andrew Jackson, commander of the U.S. Army of the Southwest, hastened to defend New Orleans, Louisiana, against British invasion; a series of skirmishes over the next few weeks culminated in the Battle of New Orleans. (1761) Marie Tussaud, the founder of Madame Tussaud’s museum of wax figures, was born in France.

I hope we have all worked to make it a great day!
