Playing Hooky
We are working in the face of a rapidly-approaching deadline. Most of my energy and time are devoted to getting our client’s site up.
I am working with a team of wonderful people. And enjoying ‘most every minute of the process.
Walk well. God is love.

Retire?
No.
I do not want to work too hard.
No surprise there. But there were times when I did. Elaine remarked one time that I am not afraid of hard work. This after watching me weed, dig, chop, and dig some more for three months to get the first beds ready to seed.
But I do want [...]
The Payoff
Good people.
I told Harry the other day that I had longed to work with smart, congenial people doing exciting work. Dream come true.
Our clients came by today to review the site and collateral material we are developing for delivery early in July. I could see their pleasure and appreciation of our efforts on their faces. [...]

Angel: . . . good karma . . . . prayers, good thoughts
Grace: Which one is it?
Angel: Fate, destiny, kismet. Sure is fun watchin’ y’all wrestle with all this stuff.

Just Say No
Remember Nancy Reagan? Her response to drug addiction: “Just say ‘No’.” Didn’t work.
So there is a War on Drugs. As with many wars, there is no progress. Billions of dollars are spent. Many, many people are killed. And there is no progress. Madness. It really is madness.
The Senate and the House of Representatives are [...]
Like Hunting Easter Eggs
Last year it was blackberries. But our uphill neighbor, Dr. B, cut back her canes. Almost to the ground. Blackberries next year or the next. But few this year. This year it is strawberries!
It is warm on the hill this evening. Sweetly warm. Short sleeve weather. Gentle warmth. Fragrant warmth. The Meyer lemon tree almost [...]
I Like Where I Am
But.
I just heard the Bach Prelude to the Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major.
And it reminded me that playing the cello well. Not well, but with excellence. Playing the cello is one of those things I would do if I had life to live over. And thinking that, it reminded me that [...]
So Very Good
A new relationship with vegetables.
Okay. I have a garden. And in my third year of gardening, there is an abundance. So much good food. But one can tire of boiled potatoes, carrots, and squash. So I am learning to prepare tasty vegetable dishes. Tonight I ate glazed carrots with thyme, artichokes with aioli, roasted potatoes [...]

“The healthy man does not torture others. Generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.”
Carl Jung
I read part of an editorial by Charles Krauthammer, who writes right wing invective for The Washington Post. An apologist for torture, he has a tortured mind. Often where he sees goodness, he confuses it with weakness. When he [...]
Good Neighbors
People in Oakland take fire danger seriously. Twenty-five people died in the Oakland hills firestorm of 1991. The City enacted a number of regulations to help prevent future disasters, including an annual fire safety inspection by the Oakland Fire Department. Our inspection comes each June. One of the requirements is that fuel loads be minimized. [...]
