Yoga Sutra of the day:

1.7 Pratyaksha-anumana-agamah-pramanami

Meditate on that grasshopper.

We become whole
by stopping
how the mind turns.

now go out and shop til you drop this Friday.
or better, stay at home and shop on-line.

I'm still recovering.
Dennis has troubles in Ethiopia with rogue ex-army insurgents.

man bites dog

autumnal equinox eve

had dinner/lunch with dennis on his way to ethiopia

gave him a detroit tigers ball cap and a 1 gig ipod shuffle with tunes from this itunes library.

talked (and recorded) for two hours. the great adventure begins. 3 months on 1 month off (the continent of africa) need to link him up with frank finn, vicki hendrix kloosterhouse, and maybe even christian u from M1-DTW (richard's nephew)

Another Wedding at Martha Mary chapel

Joe Paul and Jenny Williams got married today (9/12/2010) Shot some video for the service.

reception in the Eagle Tavern. Very atmospheric and romantic. bad for video taping though.

I will transfer to computer and make a DVD for them upon their return from Hawaiian Honeymoon.

Good News from God's Country

Dennis has a job offer. Jeff has finished school for his Commercial Drivers License. Tonight a Skype conference call is on tap. trying to get everyone together from 3 different time zones.

Lidia has returned to Champaign with Butch. Good. for Cynthia. work out tonight with weights. get skates sharpened. find a new puck bag.

another year older and deeper in debt

hockey begins next Thursday. Nick turned 52 yesterday. will attempt to see HNIA at Arts Beats Eats this weekend. Richard sends a remix of far east fandango from Toxic Soul session (2005)
Inspiring. began re reading some classic 1980 - 1990 comix. Adrian Tomine, Chester Brown.
Ed the Happy Clown, whew. Living with Cynthia is proving to be far more challenging than first envisioned, nearly thirty years ago. It's her family really. stubborn, tenacious, insane, old, drunk, stoned. All things she is not or ever has or will be. As the audio engineer used to shot from the control room "ride it out!"

update: 9/8/010 bought a new stick at lunch for $100. shesh. I better score some friggin goals this year!

Monday after a perfect Weekend

In to work early: before 8:00am. yawn

reading the pedagogy of the oppressed

also toward a theory of instruction.

and a little fiction: little black book of stories by AS Byatt.

Listening to uakti: i ching. waiting for 9:00am so I can give an overview of Blackboard to a new English class.

Went to a BBQ at Ray & Diane's new crib. much bickering with Cynthia. trying to paint the house with all these interruptions. where's a plan. she is such a mona. but i digress. otherwise it was perfect. weather, water, sun, even a little rain.

worked in the yard. everything but music.

Stung by a hornet

mic'ing the drums

Endo Mayo

The End of Lost

it was a good run. endings are harder than beginnings. unless you begin with the end in mind.

It was a brave experiment of integrating the fan base into the story arc. easter eggs and red herrings. online arcs. cul de sacs.

still wondering about 108 and the significance of numbers in faith.

dude! whatever. wh-wh-what?

i need a drink
fermentation has been giving me gassss
so I'm switching to hard liquor

work out daily

May Day

Reading the Dancing Wu Li Masters. all about quantum mechanics.

Patterns of organic energy. the speed of light is the only constant in the universe - it is also both a particle and a wave.

devious & deviant. Cynthia & Rex. high Time(s)

Fur Cabin. dropping East Dallas Band Names.

the Social NotWork in Action

So I get woken up today by a call from Richard rambling on about a post from Gary Koivunen on his MySpace Silo. Gary can sound pretty sincere and flattering if he wants to veer from his unusual sardonic Avatard.
then I spend 5 minutes on an email and 1:30 on a phone conversation with Wendy to revise the day's scheduled activities - from face to face to Adobe Connect. Document sharing, collaboration.
Next I print out some PR pieces from WMU aLumni newsletter - includeing an entry form for a upcoming film festival. - April 29th.
Then I shift into the business of the day. uploading Video and Audio. Documenting. Editing, etc.
been listing to music Richard brought and sent from Texas. XTC Brian Wilson basement tapes. the late great Carter B.
Drive: cbc.ca Radio2 Rich Terfry - buck65. Heavy Rain. Writer's Bloc. Mobile Computing.

Johnson poys

learned a new song from Chris:

johnson boys

raised in the ashes

didn't know how to court a maid

turned their backs and

hide their faces

sight of pretty gurl makes them afraid (x2)

johnson boys they come a courtin

the coon creek girls so pretty and sweet

they couldn't make no conversation

didn't know where to put their feet (x2)

secret agent men

Hurling

Cynthia calls it hurling. I can't bear to correct her. but it's become fascinating. compelling. the drama of real life minus the reality t.v. crew hovering nearby, listening in, lurking.
not everything said is compelling enough to warrant advertissement!
Canadian Curling
the game continues off the 4 sheets of ice. two teams per sheet = 16
