A Taste of the Weekdays

This morning Henry gave me a bit of a feel for his recent crabby weekday self. It was tough going and right now I really feel like a nap. It's hard to imagine handling like this myself for five days in row.

We had a great dinner, however. We went out last night to celebrate our good fortune at a local BBQ restaurant. The meal was OK, but Henry's behavior was great. He was very nice to the waitress, during the meal he pointed at a bird outside saying, "bud," and he even scribbled a bit with some crayons.

I searched some halves last night. 8,000 of them put me over the 600,000 mark! In this batch I found fourteen 90% silver halves (14 x 1964), thirty-three 40% silver halves (3 x 1965, 4 x 1966, 9 x 1967, 14 x 1968D, 1968S, 2 x 1969D), four proof halves (1968S, 1985S, 2002S, 2007S) and nineteen mint set halves (1987P, 2 x 1987D, 2 x 2002P, 2 x 2004P, 3 x 2004D, 2005P, 2005D, 2006P, 2 x 2006D, 2007P, 2 x 2007D, 2008P). I was very pleased with the results. The 1968S 40% silver proof half I found is a better specimen than the one I have in my collection. With the 2007S half I got a little closer to finishing my collection of proof halves. I also enjoyed the nice mix of mint set halves I came across.

Earlier in the day a teller gave me a bunch of foreign coins she had found in rolls recently. She gave me twenty-five Canadian pennies, four Canadian nickels, four Canadian dimes (one was a 1968 50% silver), one Swiss 20 Rappen, one Bermuda 10¢, one Euro 2¢ (Portugal) and one Euro 1¢ (Netherlands).

Found: 1 penny (in Costco), 1 nickel (outside of work)
