At the edge of a river. Hear a jet sound, look up, nothing. It’s a big boat going upriver. We talk about whether it’s going to run aground. There’s a sub going next to it.
At a party with Diane G. We’re walking getting drinks and playing games.

At home, Erika has to go, Salem is running all around, trying to make eggs on 2 stoves. It’s a mess, people start coming over. I have to feed them. Some help, and I chase Salem.
Walk down to some campus, Mathias is older and in a uniform. Talk to him, then walk back uphill.
In and out the chakras we go.
Now it’s time for another post. Been busy doing the usual: get the kids ready for school, take them to school, drive to work, work, drive home, put the kids to bed, clean the house. Rinse and repeat, 5 days a week. Weekends: sleep in, clean, watch kids if the wife does something by herself. Go to church, clean, watch kids if the wife does something by herself. Get ready for the week. Plus my car has some things that need repair, and we’re tragically short of ca$h. Oh well-at least I’m getting through the Steiner material-need to start work on the ID program. Gamelan has been spotty, but I got to play bonang a few times and drum for one piece. I’m jumping rope for 15 minutes 3 times a week pretty consistently, doing the 5 Tibetan Rites the other 3 days, and the long Yang every night. I’m making progress-just about halfway through learning the form, and my cardio shape is improving. I’ll probably start Pilates in a while and move the 5 Rites to jumprope days.
The rest of the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Actually not, but there are pockets of that. The huge earthquake & off the coast of Japan and the subsequent reactor nightmare, Libya, Syria, Yemen, the slow motion disaster here and climate change, it seems like humanity is thrashing around a bit. I’m thinking everyone is waiting for something big to happen, but no one quite knows what it is. Though there’s no shortage of speculation, especially among those who believe in a big end. And no shortage of times in the past when the same thing was said and it didn’t happen-a bit of crying wolf, I guess. We shall see-the best thing to do is to take it all with calm and peace.
Here are the links-again, pretty bleak. In keeping with the ID stuff, I should come up with a link list that’s brighter, but L & A don’t make it easy. Thanks, guys, we appreciate all the hard work you do deceiving humanity. Keep it up. Hopefully people will wake up soon and smell the coffee. From “Morning in America” to the Nightmare on Main Street, Mike Konczal on Radio Free Dylan, This Is What Class War Looks Like, Capitalism’s Dismal Future, Class Warfare, the Final Chapter, When the World Is Turned Upside Down and Protest Is Privatized, The New American Dream, Greetings from Idiot America, The Collapse of Globalization. And on a brighter note, Post Carbon Institute. I know there are more people working on good stuff too. Sadly, we only tend to hear about the bad stuff…

Looking for a place to eat-one place, then go to another. Obama’s having a thing there, so it’s off limits and crowded. Back to the first. Talk to a friend, then back to the other place. The guy is making pizzas and Erika changes her mind, so he throws it away, starts over, messes up, waits too long and the dough is cooked too much. We wait.

Walking around the outside of a house. A bunch of bikers are hanging out and I go around them. Hide in a tent from a guy with a gun, he sees me and comes over. I pretend to sleep. He shoots me in the head and it’s an air gun. I confront him and twist his arm inside the tent. Walk away.
In some round building. B Smith is trying to get me in to see an orthopedist about my back-I want drugs. I walk around looking for the desk, find it, and the nurse takes me to the back and the x-ray machine. She points it all weird ways and takes x-rays. Walk back to the front and out, as the place is closed.

Waiting for something, sit with Kris, she tells me about how she barfed into the sink and then spills honey on my shirt. I take it off.

Bill E. is throwing snow around.
Driving to the freeway, guys are hitchhiking all over the place.

Walking down a street, a black fighter jet comes past very low and fast. I watch him turn around. He comes past, turns sideways and starts spraying water. I figure it’s not a good thing so I try to find a place to hide. The water turns to snow and coats everything. I’m by a train station and I go up the hill to get away. I feel a touch on my side.

Out flying kites-trying to get things set up. Fly one on short lines. Pack up.

At a party, boring. Go upstairs. See a girl go into the “couples” room and follow her in. She has to leave soon, so we get started. We do it a bit, but she’s not done so we use the Hitachi.
In a warehouse, hiding at the top. They see me and start coming so I get on a floating cylinder. guys start crawling on it and I kick them off. I go through a store and bookshelves, fighting off robots and trying to get away.
2011/3/15
At work in a tall building. Go out to the elevator-they’re working on them and the doors are open. Someone walks through them and falls. I go down and outside to the parking lot. Back in and up with some guy.
2011/3/13
In a bar, sitting with Al B and others. Going to play cards, move to another table. Leave, go back home, neighbor is moving stuff, guys go through my place to get out.

At US, they’re having a presentation. I go to help set up. It’s a taped up Bose L1, but there are amps and stuff on the stage too. Roger Daltrey starts warming up.
2011/3/11
In a field/parking lot with Glenn J-he’s setting up and driving go-karts. Watch him go around.

With Judy B, we want to do it but there’s people in the room. We start anyways, then stop, we really want each other.
more of teh mundane, PLUS LINKS!
Yes, I am on a long cycle blog schedule. No worries. I have a good stack of links, so I need to post those. Not much happening-busy coding a brand new thing at work-it went fast to start, but I’m a bit bogged down right now. Making my way through some more difficult Steiner right now. Doing a thing at church with a junior youth. Egypt has transitioned, Libya is going badly. We went to Salem last weekend for the rally in support of the Wisconsin folks. Stopped and got new sneakers at the outlet shops. Back to gamelan after their show in Eugene. I may start in on drumming.
And here are the links-I didn’t pick up as many lately-I’m posting them over at Facebook… Democracy or Plutocracy? A Chart, Cairo Sunshine All Around, We fought a war on lies, and lies won, Our Market Regime and Public Education, Recognizing the Language of Tyranny, The Bartleby Project, When Democracy Weakens, Nine Pictures Of The Extreme Income/Wealth Gap, On President Obama’s Budget, It’s the Inequality, Stupid.

On a boat, some huge guy comes into the room, on a rampage. I move to a table, then leave quickly. Walk through a few rooms and a bar. Go into the office.
2011/3/5
Hanging out, watching huge swells make their way down the coast. We need to get down the coast to help someone so we jump on the swell. It’s awesome, doing tricks, people are on top, I run aground on an island.
At some festival, bands in small places, lots of shops. Watch a band, leave, come back the next day, watch another band. See my parents. Wander around, chatting with people.

Setting up for a gig with Earl T. Trying to get the amps positioned right.
Driving with Erika. Turn down a small road into a dead end. Try to turn around-it’s some sort of shrine. Another car goes down the hill.
2011/2/14
Walk down some street with US guys, start running and try to get to the place first.
