iowa magazine

 there were various things i wanted to get done and it was easier to do them because i had the TV off for most of the day. i decided to read the past year's editions of the iowa magazine, published by the university of iowa, before putting them away in a box with the others. it led to me writing a letter to the editor, sent by email, as it brought back memories of my time as a student at the university. there was an article about concerts, and i saw the guns-n-roses show at carver. there was also the 50th anniversaries of hancher auditorium, and the bijou theater. i saw 'les miserables' at the former and 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest' at the latter. the new home of the university's art collection reminded me of my rhetoric instructor deciding to do a class trip to see this art gallery, she had worked at galleries on the east coast. there is a grant wood painting in this collection, as wood was an instructor at the university at one point. i put away two 'rudolph the red nosed reindeer' items in the montgomery ward collection, a coloring book and an empty cereal box. and i got the second copy of my state tax return ready, the one i am submitting to the state. now it means getting it delivered soon. 'the simpsons' had a bowling theme, bringing back the frenchman that taught bowling to marge. during my walks i found 81 cents.
