At US, a reunion. Had trouble getting a flight/hassles. Walk down, say hi to Mr. Morton. Have to give a speech, talk about my life, spirituality. Some guys are watching a baseball game or track meet. I finish and get ready to leave, gather my stuff, clean up a sink.

In a garage, trying to get all the rotten pears moved over to the trash-lots of yellowjackets, but the pears are clear and very liquid.

Driving down dirt roads, look to see which way to go-up a hill. Back down, then to some park.

Go to fly my chute. It’s very windy.

4:55 pm-Work is over-I’m SO tired right now. Dunno why. OK. Quiet here-getting things done. Gamelan was nice-we switched around all the instruments. They went drinking afterwards. I went home. Kids are having a hard time getting up in the morning. It’s been on and off rain. Getting dark earlier and fall is pretty much here-need to rake leaves.

Walk into the living room with KK, we start kissing, a lot.
At a thing, lots of classmates there-talk about getting on Facebook.

Driving out to some new resort-it’s dry and dusty, the road is bumpy. The girl with me is complaining-I tell her she could be on the show in Norway.

4:25 pm-The end of the work week is here-pretty quiet today. Working on one thing, should’ve worked on the other but got jumped on to little bits. Gamelan was nice, but I got paged just after I left work. It’s a good group, nice instruments, I might be able to move out of the whole djegong/calung/saron bits. Getting better at the shakuhachi. Maybe I’ll start recording, but I need to work on the Steiner stuff, Sellwood, and everything else.

Some crazy girl is possessed and trying to trap us-she’s following us around. We go in and out of rooms, and try to get away or help her get better.
At some gathering, Todd O is giving out awards. There are guys from grade school there. I get one for giving him a book about the 4th way.

5:28 pm-All done-got stuff out. Working on a wiki, but I don’t have full access to the system. Gonna start on the Steiner stuff. But the big thing is gamelan practice tonight-first time! Exciting. Scary too, because I dislike meeting new people.

In a room, a guy is taping a thing. He wants me to yell something so I do.
In a house, in my room, a bunch of people come and say that Tiger Woods is coming to have lunch. I look around and here he comes. He’s concerned about security because of a thick hedge, so we look through it. He sits down, we talk about being a celebrity and famous and all that. He mentions the thing I did with yelling on a motivational tape. A bunch of press are there. He leaves. I walk outside and Erika and a friend are there and I tell them who I just had lunch with.

In the basement, tidying up my workbench, putting tools on their hooks.
At a truck stop, getting ready to go. There’s an impromptu music thing going on-I go to play bass, but someone gets there first. I get on the drums. Manager comes and we scatter-he starts talking to me. I go to fly kites. Erika comes, the truck heater is still on. We get ready to go, driving to south Indiana. Erika leaves the truck in gear, it backs up and falls over.

5:22 pm-Monday work is done-busy weekend. Harvest festival Sat. Visited Unity church Sun. One of the teachers at school let me borrow his shakuhachi. Hard to play, but I’m making progress. Gamelan Weds.

Go out to my car-the door is open and it’s running.
Walking along a frozen stream, try to cross but it’s not quite frozen all the way.

In a park, hanging out. The kids are harassing some guy who’s sleeping, then a dad does it. It starts raining, we get our stuff and leave. A flood comes down the street, and we get in the house. I look out and the waves are big, huge to our left, so we go to the beach to surf. I’m going to boogie board and some guy talks about the dangers. A big ship comes across and the waves stop.

4:59 pm-The week is ovah! Pretty quiet-Matt got home, tired, very chapped lips. Colin has some odd thing with a blister on his finger and spots on his face. Salem has a cold, I’m fighting one and Erika has a headache. Matt had a great time at camp, though he was very down on things. He takes stuff SO hard. Work is fine-I’m busy testing and working on stuff.

5:25 pm-Time to go home. Finished the bardo. Not much else happening-code changes, testing. Colin had a tough time this morning.
