Not much to report today. Diane and Sho went to a workshop all day.. I stayed here and worked..It started  off cold and rainy.. and I didn’t notice it had gotten nice until about 4 .. Got out for a run with the dgos which was really nice.

It ‘s funny that it Took my all day to get through the last week of emaill.. That was both satisfying and a little .. i dunno…  a little frustrating.  It seems wrong that it takes an whoel day out of my week to catch up on the email i receive in a week.. Any suggestions out there on how to get around that ?

hmmm.. thats all to report.. I htin. Diane, Sho and I are gonna go cook soemthing for dinner..

 

more tomorrow

Fun evening after long day. Our good friend Sho is up from NYC which is always fun.. He is s much fun to talk to.. He’s got so many stories and expereinces to share.. and he really understands humans …   One of the things we were talking about was keeping the Sabbath.. Observant Jews … like Sho.. (I think) .. treat sundown Friday to Sundown Saturday diffently than they treat any other time of the week. They wont use phones or computers. really observant Jews wontdrive in cars or turn on things like stoves.

I was thinking about how nice that would be.. to stay away from email and phones for a whole day a week. Sho suggested i give it a try.. he calls it ‘an island of time’.. i may try it just as a way to start putting some limits on my work week.. .. No one has to know that I plan to take saturday off 🙂

 

we had a great dinner of some white chili diane had made. Deb , Hannah and olivier showed up.. then a little later my new freind Eugene. we had a pretty full house. Eugene is  a musician and is planning a crazy show in New Orleans in December and was looking to brainstorm on some effects. It was so much fun hearign about it.. and just hanging out.  Gotta come up with some ideas !

 

ok.. it’s late   .enjy your island of time !

Shabat shalom..
