Re: Other stuff I'm doing
looking forward to my holiday in the south west of WA with whole big family which starts friday afternoon,
supporting my wife who is being bullied at work in the public service
reading my book, The Proud Tower by Barbara Tuchman
writing a letter to the local council because the port is dredging toxic material and dumping it near my favorite beach and messing up the water right in the middle of summer
finishing the magazine i do the layout for

the question is why, who, why, what, why, when, why and why again?

Re: Other stuff I'm doing
contemplating whether its worth heading cross town to my friends for a joint or whether i'd be better just heading home after my long day at work,
contemplating whether to give 'commenting' at RI a miss for a while,
feel like the captain has ejected and the plane has crashed, and now the kids are forming tribes and we all now how that book ends

The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

Walking the dogs.
Getting up way too early in the morning.
Deciding what to do with the next 40 years.
Edit: I hate typos.

Visiting the room next door that's been turned into an infirmary for a rescued cat who's (temporarily, hope, hope) blind, shaven, and wearing a toy dog's sweater.
Pretending I'm the mistress in charge of three dogs with a combined weight of 300 lbs.
Fantasizing ways I can make it to retirement and collect social security.
Realizing there very well might not be any social security.
Wondering why I don't drink.

Making more boxes.
Blowing gesso around with my air compressor and seeing it spatter and then making patterns with it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/svj/4283620134/
Wondering if I should tell my wife about my dream, I say "I had a dream last night" and she acts as if she didn't hear it.

Today I am hammering out a few silver bracelets. I picked up silversmithing as a hobby and sell them at the street fair for fun and extra cash.

^^That's beautiful Percival.
