Since I have this empty book, I feel that I should do something with it. A daily journal would be appropriate, reporting happenings in this "haven" for old ladies. Of course there are men here, too, but not only are they in the minority, they are -- as a group -- more nearly normal.
Next door to my room is a sitting room in which is a T.V. Last eve, about 7 o'clock, the T.V. emitted loud noises. I went to see what was going on and there was a woman (what else?) sitting listening to the T.V. I asked her courteously if she was hard of hearing and she admitted that she was. I said that it was offensively loud and she responded: "Why? Are you going to bed? "No," I said "I was just trying to read." I went back to my room and she did turn it down, and then "off" about 9 o'clock.
