Walden

Entered receipts into the computer; caught up on some shows (Damages, Terminator, ER, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Knight Rider); finally finished Walden (it was a long slog). I expected Walden to be a socialist guidebook like Walden Two, but the relationship is more that they both describe self-sustaining lifestyles with time for leisure, with Two ("Too") extending it from the individual to the group. The message I got from Walden was "Do not be possessed by your possessions, but possess your own life." Which is sensible advice even for free market capitalists.
Books finished: The Electronic Day Trader, In Our Hands, Walden.
