Another chilly morning

I've got a few "computer things" to work on today.  I need to get some of my genealogy notes in order; I need to file pictures away in various folders; I have two letters to write; I'm going to check out the music website, Spotify; I'm going to sign up for Instagram; I'm going to recheck my Twitter account and see if I can't figure out how it works exactly; I need to check out 'Linked In' that I signed up for and never went further; and I need to browse around on Pinterest.  Might begin to sort through my Christmas cards too.

I drove over to the Morman Church Genealogy Library last night as I was told "the main lady" who knew the most worked from 6 to 9.  I showed up at 5:50 and at 6:35 she still hadn't showed so I gave up (irked) and came home.

Ended up watching a little tv (Netflix and Amazon) and then hit the sack kinda early.  I think this cold weather makes me weary.  I know my skin doesn't like it.  Temperature gauge read 28 when I got up.  Took a hot shower, ate breakfast, worked my Yahoo crossword puzzle, washed dishes, and here I am.  Yep!  Nothing much to write about today.  Guess I'll get on with my to-do list.

Here's a 1986 video with Del Shannon. I've always loved this song.



A further note...

Suffering from depression, for which he was taking Prozac, Shannon committed suicide on February 8, 1990, killing himself with a .22-caliber rifle at his home in Santa Clarita, California. He was cremated, and his ashes were scattered. Following his death, the Traveling Wilburys honored him by recording a version of "Runaway". Lynne also co-produced Shannon's posthumous album, Rock On, released on Silvertone in 1991.

Shannon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of FamIe in1999. 



















And while I didn't listen to The Doors when they were popular, I did catch this one on Pandora Music today and thought...my oh my....look what I missed.
