<\/p>\n
I spent the whole day hanging out inside . still feeling a bit under the weather .. I took advantage of the down time to some video editing for a work project.. I also did some laundry . What’s it say when laundry is the high point of your day ? Actually it’s kind of fun. I just finished reading a book called ‘Change by Design’ by Time Brown of Ideo.
He recommends taking time to look at the ‘super-ordinary’.. the stuff you do every day.. and find the extraordinary in it. Today my ‘super ordinary’ was dishtowels. <\/p>\n

Not just any dishtowels.. my<\/i> dishtowels.. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Some of them are .. admittedly pretty\u00a0 boring.. they’re brand new. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Others have a story.. this one.. used to be a bath towel.. washed each and every one of us at one time or another… I wonder if there’s any way to test and see who a towel has touched. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This one has always been a dish towel.. I call this one my ‘ward cleaver’.. it seems I always use it when we’re at the sink talking. just lieke on Leave it to Beaver. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ah.. this one used to be a place mat.. a wedding gift, I think.. Did one of you give it to us ? If so.. know that it’s been well loved. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This one.. I think.. has been in our joint pssession since Diane and I met..\u00a0\u00a0 Though I can’t be sure.. I never kept a registry of my dishtowels. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This one was a giveaway somewhere ..\u00a0 a lacrosse game ? a soccer game ? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This one .. welll. It was always a dish towel.. who made it ? where’d it come from ? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ah\/ these are ancient.. I think we used htem for .. errrr…. diaper work…\u00a0\u00a0 How’s htat for a thought. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

THis one was<\/i> a wedding gift.. it’s a napkin.. I even knwo who gave it to us.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This one is only 3\/4 the size it used to be.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So .. that was my big adventure today.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Eventually I managed to get outside.. Diane and I took a short snowshoe with the dogs.. The snow was slushy and deep… I took advantage of te brush being packed down to hke a bit off the trail and visit this old car. I think it’s a Model A.. . I really wonder how it came to be there.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OK.. that’s abotu it for my day.. not too exciting.. but perfectly peaceful. <\/p>\n

Nite all Nite Sam
