While I intended to work today, my Monday off, I changed my mind this morning and took the day off. Maurice will be away all week and like as not, I'd wind up Thursday night with the New Haven report done and no Maurice to okay it. So I decided to lay off after all.

Spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon on the Peninsula taking in views of the autumn scenes out there which were lovely in many spots.  I plan a Peninsula movie, showing it at all seasons in color; nothing around this part of the country could be much more attractive, and so I was out almost all day in the clean, cool air and sunshine and came home burned by sun and wind. I think at last, I am really learning how to love - to get the most out of life and today I resolved to go forward playing a better game than ever before - living fully, giving all my tastes full play, filling my life so full of interests that nothing mediocre or low can get at me. And by so doing, I know I shall enjoy greater content, satisfaction, and peace and success than I ever have before.

Am fighting on through Uzzell's assignments. It is a struggle but good discipline and good practice.

Excepting Alco, I believe the Piedmont and Northern is the only job he's landed in five years and he has been away probably
