Go to a drugstore with Salem, she’s running around and looking at everything. I get some stuff and go to pay for it.
Looking at our huge car and there’s something going on with one of the tires.

On a big boat, take an elevator, end up in the wrong place. Have to go down, through a hospital, lounge and narrow corridors. End up at the gym.
At mom’s home, she’s got things laid out for a party. A bunch of friends come over late and come in the window, they start eating the food and leave. I go to follow, but one girl stays and I sit with her. We’re watching the lighting effects and she’s smoking.
2010/3/19
Getting ready to fish-putting the rod & reel together-fancy new stuff. Talk about the difference between new and old. Ranger comes and asks if we have licenses.
Leslie B is sitting in my lap-we talk.
At a house-software company. Downstairs people are playing D&D, vid games, etc. Like a cocktail party going on. I go past the meeting room and it looks like angry customers. Go upstairs and all the dev rooms are empty. One has silks, colored lights and incense and a guy is meditating.
2010/3/18
Hanging out with the band, roll my rack out, try to find a plug for the TV, everyone leaves, I go to the next place.
2010/3/15
In some big field with Kris L-we walk around and I tell her how much I love her and am agonizing over what to do. We go into one room, then back to another.
2010/3/10
Drive into the garage to get my car fixed-their lift isn’t working so everything is done on the ground. I tell him what I need to have done and they start working on it. I look into the engine compartment.
Walking through a grocery store with Colin.
2010/3/9
In the kitchen, trying to clean up-there’s an odd spiderweb around a metal thing. I ignore it, then look more closely to try to relocate the spider-and it’s a family and some are quite large.
2010/3/8
Playing piano with Todd O. on another one-clumpy chords & quiet. This girl comes in and blasts really noisy & loud stuff out of speakers right in my face. I run away, get earplugs and come back. They’re upset.
2010/3/7
Walking through some mall, some guys ask me if I want to go to the gym-I go , then they ask me what I think of it.
Playing in a field, we go up then slide down a hill by a stream-I want to cross but it’s too fast. then it slows & stops. I start to cross and see the huge wave coming. I hurry across and try to climb up the embankment.
In L.A. trying to get to Long Beach. go down to the back of the racetrack-it’s blocked, so I have to go around with some others.
Slacking, but not really
It’s been awhile since I wrote in this space-busy, not interested. I’ve been doing this long enough that lulls happen. I know the rule of blogging is to keep the content coming or people will go elsewhere. Whatever. It isn’t like this is making me any money. On that front, I need to get this ID stuff going-if I can shift units, I can make money.
The past month has been largely routine-work, school, home. I did have to take care of the kids and work from home while Erika went to Long Beach last week. A biiig earthquake in Chile-the contrast between that and the Haitian one is striking.
I’m trying to think of what else has happened-endless partisan insanity (viz, more, yuck), Apple’s iPad, the Olympics, not finding much else, though I’m sure there are-I’m not as involved in news as I have been in the past. I’ve been focusing on Anthroposophy-I want to come up with a cogent program of exercises. I don’t know if I’ll explain the cosmology. I’ve been working the exercises, and reading through the material as much as I can-I have a very clear idea of where he was coming from now. Back to Knowledge of Higher Worlds to clarify the 6 month program. I’d like a complete program to get people working the exercises. This is our future,and what better time than now? Every day you don’t work on this stuff is another day you’re not lifting up mankind and repaying the obligations you have.

Out and walk back through the pool area, a girl asks Leslie B why she was with me. I go into a room and start to change.
2010/2/22
Want to make stone rubbings. Waiting for Erika. Go down and start looking for paper-get some, but it’s some guy’s sketchbook. Go up a street, end up by the Palace. Wait for the Queen and look at a carriage. Leave and start to walk home.
2010/2/21
Go to a party, hang out with some ladies, then go back to another part of the house. Go back to my place and take a shower.
2010/2/20
Playing golf, have to get it onto a ledge. Climb up, then down, try to get the right club. My balls are messed up.
2010/2/17
There’s an event at a grocery store, we go in an wander around. I find a small child and help him find his parents. Go back out and gather up the kids-we look out a Mount Hood and Erika is excited about climbing it. We climb up a rocky hill as practice and slide down the snow. Walk back home and the DeS’s are there.
2010/2/10
In a big car, climb into the back and put it into gear, the car rolls down and jumps over another. Get out and there’s just a bit of cosmetic damage.
2010/2/9
At work, going to give a demo. Walk to my cube and get the phone, but there’s no computer or anything. I realize I’ve moved and go there, but I don’t have my key card so I have to go to the front desk to get someone to open it. Walk through and the developers are playing ball. Get to my cube, it’s tiny, and the computer won’t start, work on getting it fixed.
A busy week
It’s been a busy week-lots going on. I had to work ’til 3 last night on a design job.
Getting stuff put together for school, trying to keep the house clean, Matt’s birthday last Sat., church field trip Sun., plus folding and putting away clothes, and work is crazy, with more to come. Gamelan is my sole salvation right now, that and the Steiner material.
Obama gave his state of the union and we had an election. I didn’t hear much about the speech, and the election went the right way, except for the Mass senatorial. I have too much going on to worry too much about politics, and the political landscape is bad, but not as bad as when W. was around. I just try to ignore the a$$holes on the right. Howard Zinn died. His history of America is great and will stick around for a long time. Apple came out with their tablet-looks nice. I should write software for the mobile devices. My Java/Eclipse/mySQL is up to speed. I added a swing form to the mix.

IN Long Beach apt, guys next door are fighting. I hear shouting and a loud bang, see guys holding back.
2010/1/21
At work, trying to clean up old food in a cooler and scattered around. Lot’s of it is rotten and smelly.
Going around a super tiny short track, I win by cutting around the center. Apolo is there. I move on.
