Morning Song

Dog barking woke me up. Damn the dog, damn the neighbors, damn the world. Rolled out of bed and pulled on some clothes. Drank a cold cup of coffee. No hot water. Damn that dog. Made breakfast. The dog barked again. Threw the cold cereal at it.

Turned the computer on. Five messages in my box. Three junk mail, one from mom and one from my e-mail lover. We have developed a complex relationship. Too difficult not to write a book about.

Wrote back to the one about a free t-shirt. Could use an addition to my wardrobe.

Water should be warm enough by now. Damn, wrong. Cold showers wake me up too fast for my brain. Took a lukewarm shower anyway.

Drove to work. On the way a cat ran under the Buick. Damn that dog.

Originally written during the late 90s, probably in 1997.

numbing gums

letting my tongue roll along
a sickeningly yellow ice pop
flavors and fears mingling
poison drip of science
don’t let the sun drain its powers
don’t let the bile rise and stain
the white hospital floors
my new blue sneakers

This is a voyage

I have always been amazed by the simplicity and depth of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MciKzgSTKOM
I do not know why it came back to me tonight, but I enjoyed all 6:10 of it.

Amazed again

Our two year old daughter, the amaZing, has started to do somersaults.
And since she is copying her sister, the adoRable, she has learned also to lift her hands up in tribute, the way ms adoRable has learned in her floor gymnastics class.
Love it love it love it

Editing

Edited a 15 page document today.
How boring. How grand.
How useless. HOw important.
Kind of like that Yom Kippur prayer.

if your staff need to be trained….

go to the UDEs
go to the clouds

very little they cannot do

kinda like jedi magic

aching feet

but at least we have the bed to ourselves.

K is asleep already.
lol

two thoughts on mono

1, It sucks that K has it.
2. It will suck if I have it.

I hope the girls have not contracted it.

spent the morning in a forest

Tu Bishvat in Matan means a walk from the civic center (Matnas) to a nearby forest, where the youth movement has activities.
Was fun, Romy saw friends, (we didn’t do the walk, but joined the latter part).
Was good.
Ook.

At home, K is sick. Mono with an infection. Yuck.

mild frustration

I haven’t posted in a while, I know.

Anyhoo…I have been working on a piece, which should explain something of why I have been thinking through this knowledge framework.
And I got stuck.

I got very frustrated at myself. I was supposed to know this stuff already. Stuff I had already thought through.

My mind is not as clear as it should be.

grrrrr
