A day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
-- NOT--
Lesson # 14096

The past week  or so was quite Interesting.  I realize it has been a couple of weeks since I wrote in this journal.  I plan to start with the events of last week and then  move backward.  After I finish, I may rearange the entries. 
Last week I was in Omaha Neb. for a conference.  The subject of the converence itself will bore you if you are not in higher education but let me say that it was well organized and went very well.  Normally at these things the meetings are crammed in so close together that you don't really have time to breath.  This conference was set up with meditation time between the meetings and with just two long meetings a day so that you not only had time to contemplate the ramifications of the lectures and meetings but also had time to eat and relax between sessions.
One day several of us took time to walk to a shopping area that I had been to before and which I find to be the hightlight to any visit to Omaha. We underestimated the time it would take to get there so we didn't get to spend much time looking around.  Having been there before I knew which shops to head for right away.  I also had anticipated going to the Market while in town and had hoped to pick up some specific things while there.  One shop I really liked carried Mizzuzza. I went in to get a new one and realized that I already have one for each of my doors and didn't need a new one.  So  I just looked around real quick and left. Little did I know that someone would steal mine right off my front door while I was gone. An act that I find hard to understand.  Who ever it was took the case holding scripture but left the bracket which is beautiflyly hand puunded brass scrollwork. The tube they took is just a glass tube containing the scriptures with a tooled brass top. 

Last week
