I’m “retired” from teaching Tai Chi in community education school district programs. Frontier called Friday and said they wouldn’t run the class because only 1 person signed up. The fad is over — Oh well. It was a good handful of years. Went to a carnival in Lackawanna today with Mer and discovered a “hidden” [...]

Something like a pencil sticking out of the ground, or rather a foot wide ring of sand, about 20 feet away. (In Canada, that would only be about 7 meters, but it’s still quite a distance :^) Throwing metal washers (almost palm size) like horseshoes, Merry’s Dad got it around the “pole” three times, wiinning [...]

Forgot to mention it, but had a dream about my sister Sharon the other day. Makes me sad to have had a warm feeling and then to wake up knowing she is cold and distnat to me now, even as she cares for my God-daughter. Same thing happened last week with a dream of Jessica, [...]

ALl kinbds of last-minute headaches on a big project the last couple of days … I’ve got to present an oraganization’s new website to the general membership Tuesday and all-of-a-sudden the database running the bulleting board is gone! Fortunately, it’s backed up and fixed. And the programmer not being far along is making me nervous. [...]

My daughter’s dance studio … two phone numbers. NO ANSWERING MACHINE. I call all day for two days and finally get the owner’s mom or something. She says she’ll be selling tickets at the door, but doesn’t know how much they are or how many seats are left. There HAS to be something in the [...]

Too high humudity, even for nudity … I don’t care if it’s 60F outside — if the humidiy raises the heat index over 100, I don’t want to be here. I do not want to sweat while standing still. If sweating is so good for you, why does it feel so gross rolling of your [...]

I spent yesterday with Merry and her Mom in Naigara-On-The-Lake, Canada. Getting a little lost on both sides of the border (I still can’t believe the Robert Moses Parkway in no way connects with the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge!) was at least scenic, and after a day of window-licking (and a purchase or two, but not myself), [...]

Just saw “The Last Samurai” and REALLY liked it. It was amazing and meaningful to tears. I will probably have dreams about it tonight.

Just as I’m breaking even, someone steals a bunch of money and product from my vending machine in the basement. One side was loose, and somehow I dropped a couple keys and they found one. With the one key and one end lose, they coukld pop off the coin tray and get their hands in [...]

Is this too private? Well, if I’m going to be utterly self-honest, I may as well make it so. (1) Keep my mouth shut. Curb the need to have the last word. This is especially helpful when dealing with people who are angry with you, even if you are or are not angry with them. [...]

I’ve been edgy lately, worried about my daughter’s mom’s. She’s not speaking to me, which is okay (except for the whole parental responsibility thing), and for the supposed reason she fears I am trying to find things to get her in trouble (major irony from my view). But she’s looking for excuses to be mad [...]
