Please tip the writer<\/a>. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design\/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java\/database\/AWS\/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s fall, and very much fall here-trees losing their leaves, rain, chilly. We all like this weather-reminds me of growing up in Cleveland. I’ve been daydreaming about alternate life paths, one of which is not getting a job in London, getting one in Cleveland, buying my parents’ house<\/a> when they left for L.A., and how that would play out. All sorts of dreams to remodel the house and property…marrying Judy… Anyways, a good way to fall asleep, daydreaming about that sort of stuff, and the things. Life goes on, day after day<\/a>. Politics and global events are certainly fun-I’ve been reading articles from Foreign Affairs<\/a>, much like I used to read Stratfor<\/a>. I’m also getting daily emails from NY Times<\/a> and Oregon Live<\/a> so I’m keeping up, but trying not to let it infect my life-been there, blogged about it. I should pepper this with links, just because-done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weds., mid-morning. Got one thing done-woo-hoo! Light w\/o yesterday-my shoulder is bothering me, so just bike, legs, stretch and t’ai chi<\/a>. We’re trying to slow down our legs in t’ai chi. And one push move really makes my shoulder pop, plus any reaching. Gonna message the doctor-no response-just not doing arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday morning. I’ve been waking up early, going back to sleep, and waking up to the alarm. This is hard. I retired one of my hats-a kippah<\/a> from a Jewish store in Costa Mesa<\/a>-had it for many years. Not much else-watched the new South Park<\/a>. Otherwise, the usual…tidy, kitchen, dinner, laundry, TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s Friday! Woo-hoo! Nothing planned, but it’s nice to not have to get up early. Time to write down weekend tasks. I should set aside time for practice and thinking\/writing. Like it’ll happen. If I don’t veg out in front of the TV, it might. Starting back on cold weather weekend breakfasts-bagels in the summer, crock pot oatmeal<\/a> and Japanese style rice with veg & bonito flakes in the winter. Almost lunch-got the task writing done-I love this pocket-sized notebook-trying to figure out what to do with all the notebook type bits I have. S is going to Opal Creek<\/a> next week for outdoor school, so I think we’ll spend the weekend getting prepped for that. Time to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, noon. Busy weekend, got stuff done, and S prepared for outdoor camp. Still doing light workouts. Watched Avengers: Endgame<\/a>-a fine ending to Phase 3<\/a>. Picked up C & J from separate shows(!) And it’s been cold, so winter breakfasts were nice. And we made Cincinnati chili<\/a> from a package. Not enough spaghetti, and we thickened the sauce, so not the real thing. It was a pumpkin spice chili<\/a> package-we dropped the pumpkin, but it worked great for Cinci…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, late afternoon, I think I’m cooked. The usual sort of week, but quieter because S is gone. Skipped w\/o on Tues., had an MSG loaded lunch <\/a>and snack, felt odd and ill. Got a few things done. Busy at work. Need to reload my phone with music-deleted everything to put IOS 13<\/a> on there-iTunes<\/a> was a bastard. Reading a pretty good SF book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday morning-in a meeting. I think I’ll call this. S got back yesterday, was very tired. Everything else is going fine. M is back at school<\/a>, C is driving more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying to stay away from politics, but this: “A Category Error”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Links\/viddys-brighter side: nothing-didn’t really look hard. Not so bright: don’t even want to go there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
