Hey John…

Well, back to school went smoothly.  We made it there is plenty of time.  Not bad.

Hey I was reminded that yesterday was square root day (3/3/09).  How could I have forgotten that?

Morning was spent cleaning the toy closet looking for my kids yoga stuff.  I found our VCR.  I knew we had it be some where.  I also found numerous misplaced items.  Good deal.  I didn’t toss anything yet.  Springtime for that stuff.

I walked the dogs.  They just won’t let you get away without a walk.  I waited until it was 20 degrees.  It was -5 this morning!  I helped out at Gabe’s school.  I love talking with those kids.  I cleaned again…this time the yoga space.  Mason stopped by and we chatted.  That boy is doing well although recovering from a cold.  He helped me take down the movie screen down.  Nice to have tall people now and then.

I picked up Gabe from school.  We listened to the story about the hiker/climber who had to cut off his arm after 6 days of it being crushed in a rock.  As we cringed listening to him talk about trying to figure out how to cut the bone with his tiny blade he had an epiphany.  He could just break his arm with a rock..heck he could just snap it.  So while we were all listening in horror he reminded us that he had spent 5 days in death.  He had taped his good byes, he had wrote RIP and his name in the rock, he had written to people, he had made his goodbyes over and over again.  It was a joyful moment to just break his arm and walk away.  It made sense.  So many times our minds create what we think we would expect.  It is truly never how you imagine.  He died and was birthed at that rock.  An amazing tale.

Gabe went to Night Riders tonight.  Another cold one.  My picture taking is poor and my hands were cold.  He won a pair of Electric goggles in a raffle.  He is looking to sell them now.  We ate bean & cheese burritos and watched Gross Point Blank.  Well, almost watched it.  We fell asleep.  Satori snuggled up next to Gabe.  All the dishes are very clean leaving the TV/Sam’s room.  I think Chai and Satori do the prerinse.

I’m off to bed.  Love you…d
