I worked at home today .. Had a great productive day.. As I worked, for some reason I started to fixate on my glasses.. not sure why.. maybe it’s because I  basically sat in one place for the entire day. Dunno..

One thing I kept noticing is that looking through glasses is like watching the world on TV.   The world gets framed by your glasses.  The world happens ‘out there’ on these two screens not in your head.. if you knwo what I mean..

Then I noticed that I could ‘watch my breathing.. maybe it’s because it was in the mid 50’s in my office.. my glasses would fog with every breath .. kinda cool.. made me feel like I was outside..

Then there’s the pushing piece.. every 3 minutes I have to shove my glasses back on.. How to do it ? finger ? wrist ? table.  I’ve experimented with an indirect method.. slamming my head backwards against something.. nothing seems right. it always seems like the making..

Here’s the other thing that’s weird.. they become less and less clear as the day goes on. here’s here I ended up by day’s end.

How do people make this work.. ?

Anywho…

Not much else to report.. one cool mini-milestone .. i hit 1500 freinds in Face book today. and I love/like them all.

OK gotta help Gabe with his snowboard !  We cut it in half last weekend.. to make a splitboard. now we gotta make the clamps to hold it together.

talk to you tomorrow !
Nigt folks, night sam !

ps.  isn’t this sweet ?

Today is our younger dog, Satori’s 2nd birthday !. guess that makes her 14.. same as Gabe.. !   She’s the one on the left.. shes a Labradoodle-doodle.. A lab/poodle crossed with a poodle.. She’s got the personality of a teenage girl.. I think..

.   I  The girls celebrated by getting their winter haircuts. As counter intuitive as it may seem. we need to keep their coats a little shorter in the winter because they get so much snow and ice stuck in their fur when we’re out running/walking/snowshoeing

Here’s Satori with her Fall ‘fro

And older ‘sister’ Chai looking a little wooly-mamothy

I couldn’t get the girls to pose for an after haircut shot.. but you get the idea.. they look  so diffent. I’m not used to seeing Satori’s eyes !

Granddog Reptar, he’s maxs aprtment dog up visiting from NYC…  idn’t seem to mind the lady’s new ‘Dos

Diane whopped up a birthday surprise for all the dogs.. Steak !.. Not something you usually see in a household of mostly vegetarians. 

She doled out some for each of the dogs.. The birthday girl. Satori, bg sister Chai, grand-dog Reptar.. and a Wicker, our friend Dan’s dog.. the smell of meat had them all in a frenzy !

Diane put the bowls done and the stuf was g-o-n-e in a flash.

This is Wicker

It was fun having a party for Satori. These dogs have brought so much love into our lives, it’s nice to thank them..

Please give our best wishes to all of your dogs….

Arf, arf folks,

Gentle reader.. I did it again.. it’s 1.:30 in the morning and I’m just sitting down to blog.. A sI sat, I realized that my first meeting of the moring is 6AM .. (ugh).   That’s what you get when your work friends are in weird corners of the globe.    Still.. I can’t complain.. I like the projects I have going now..

   It was actually fun being back in the office today after working at home for a week and a half.  My plants were definitely happy to see me.. they looked more dehydrated than we were on the colony.    One thing I was excited to do today as to install one of my cool xmas gifts.. Gabe and Diane had found me these cool inserts that convert your yucky ald florescent light bezels into nice pictures of the sky.. I had been looking for a way to brighten up my 40 year old ceiling.. I had to do some cutting and bending, but I got them in.. It’s a completely different room now.. instead of staring up at the ugly blue white lights.. I get a view.. albeit and illusionary view.. of the sky.

  Hey..Vishnu teaches us that  all things are illusion or Maya… .Since Sam’s passing  I’ve learned that things are not always quite what they seem.. the ordinary can be changed forever in a day.. or … the must extraordinary.. and difficult circumstances can somehow become commonplace and ordinary. Unbelievable..
     I gotta sleep.. now.. more coherent tomorrow.. .. or at least more tomorrow. Night folks, nite Sam

ps. Here’s a quick sexine experiemnt that Max and I did tonight as we were working on my movie.. I thight it looked cool

greetimgs from my kindle. it’s my new best friend. if you don’t kmow what a kindle is .. you should ! its an electronicreader about the size of a book. its pretty amazingz. it can hold about 1000 books worth of text. it can read aloud… and it has a simple browserz. its good enough that i can use it to enter a blog post when im too lazy to get off the couch and look for my laptop.
hey… since this thing is .ade for readimg books… i should ask folks what they are reading. do you have a book that youd recommend to me ? diane says thqt i like long books where nothing happens. got any of those ? seriously .. im lookimg for recommendations.
well.. im goimg to hitit post and see if this works.
