I came home a little after 11am and found David and Onelsis happily watching TV.  They seemed to have a good time in my absence, but David was most thrilled with the fact that she thought he was 55.  I asked how old she thought I looked and she said 40, so I was pleased  Both of us were about the same  distance from our real ages.  Now if I can just begin the morning like I am 40, that would be perfect.

We headed out to see Zero Dark Thirty tis afternoon, which was good.  A little bit of Homeland in it, but if it is good, that is oK.  Maybe it is just the names – Abu Nasir or Abu Ahmed or something like that.  We haven’t gone into details, but David was confused by a couple of things,  I will try to sort it out,but frankly, I don’t know how fair it is to give this to him – will he be really interested?

We watched more television, and then got ready for Downton Abbey.  After last weeks, I was prepared for quite a scene, but I think that will begin in the coming weeks.

Read last nights and the night before’s blog entries.  Then the object – two coins from Damascus at the beginning of the Islamic Empire.  The first with an image, and the second, with just text.
