Is fall here yet?

Here we go again.

The recap:
Wife finally got a phone she likes-I promised it to her at Christmas…<sigh>. E wants to go on a trip, without me. My parents are coming up in August, they’re very old. We got the kids rearranged, the house is much more decluttered, we left PWS. 4th of July, visited one of E’s friends’ & watched the Oaks Park fireworks from the bluff. S has been going to vacation bible schools, and C did a mural drawing camp. Cleaning, purging, trying to organize, keep the house clean, failing at work. Correction, no parents visit, changing schools. It’s been hot this week.
And after a long hiatus, back. Wife & kids to Montana, kids started new school. S’s birthday, my birthday. A thing with tex. Made a song & video, posted to youTube.

Grabbed a bunch of music. Lack of cash due to overspending, help from everyday angels. A couple of gamelan gigs. A new orange kitten.

Our human world is sick and sad, too. We’re committing slow suicide as a society. At the brink of the war of all against all. I’m just tired of it all, and simply don’t care anymore.

Here are the links-maybe I should do the canonical blogger thing and sprinkle them throughout a post, rather than a long list at the end…\/\/hate\/er…Don’t drink and post. I’m also listening to an epic Tool show from 1998. It’s nice to drink, listen to awesome music and write. maybe that’s what I need to do rather than writing software. I just don’t know-I have so much more to me than the software thing, but the world doesn’t value anything more than what my job is. There isn’t a value to consciousness and inner development, and presence.
