I'm back,
I got up, ate a bit too much soymilk and grape nuts. I got up around 6, good.
Then did compost pile work and had good talk with mom (so I'm not
totally negative) though just now I ignored her calling down the stairs
to me in the basement lair, because, I need to work on this, and I
don't wish to encourage her practice of calling to me and to others
up/down stairs. It is tough living with her.
And severed thick ivy vines around the base of a poor tree choked by poison ivy.
And swam, calling sara while walking to pool, saying something about "banal suburban existence, banality
which I doubt is especially endearing (it's not to myself)
Is suburban existance banal (dull an unoriginal) or is it just me being
negative, when I could be focusing on the rays of light among the
banality...
I love how she says, "Oh, Colin, You should have seen me-
How she says, "Oh, Colin-
her voice.
You know I don't say people's names much, but it is a special thing to do.
and I may bring the banjo back, because she would like it, and so would I.
I may go back this evening. I question whether I would go back if she weren't there, and free.
I am sleepy.
daydreaming yoga/dance, women.
1453 I've been out, sleeping. Sun and moon yoga brochure
large b/w pictures of yoga-strong women doing cool poses.
I might get a yoga book.
1630
In some ways, it looks like I'm getting a good part of the highschool
void covered. We're still missing 6-8th grade. 7th grade I rhymed all
or most of my history homework, when we had to write definitions for
historical figures and events.
Possibly I could find that letter (I believe, unsent, but unsure) from
cape cod (circa saught after windsurfing picture)) to lisa wimberly.
The eagle scout report is a good document, but it looks like it will
have to be ocr'd... perhaps can do before I leave. Seems like it could
be on an old harddrive.
What is the point in working with this old stuff?
The satisfaction of knowing where certain years of my life went? Being able to point to something.
Also, the me of the past is speaking to the me of the now and I'm learning some things about the person I once was.
How to wrap things up?
Let's gather together everything we might want to take back, then cut
down from there. We should have time to ocr the eagle report. The whole
thing.
take pictures back to scan.
We also have the oldhome01 hard copy, and can use that to fix up the recovered version if we want to.
and need to back up current site and image work onto mom's HD.
what of those old deep springs essays?
what of the future, lets focus again on that.
