- Had a cleansing meeting about the state of things at SOF. It isn’t always easy, but it’s helpful having… yep, you guessed: conversation!
- Writing like this would seem self-indulgent in other hands, but she masterfully crafts words that reveal and include. http://bit.ly/xEfxg
RT @sepulchra! - @glittermonkey We’ve had an owl in our backyard for a few months. Makes so much damn noise at like 2 a.m. I now hate owls.
- Today’s events leave me uninspired and, frankly, frustrated. Reassess and reengage tomorrow. Obama can’t buoy us all.
- Oh how I love watching late-night re-runs of America’s Ballroom. But where’s the ballet on PBS?
RT @dbourcy: The current + pledge week = pandora
- If you need a two-minute respite with music, silence, and a paper plane, this video reorients: http://tinyurl.com/d538vx. To your hands.
- Watching “United 93” while flying a commercial airline is not a wise action. Lesson learned. Oy.
- Great moment at RDA: flight delayed due to hole in aircraft from luggage. Stories blaze! Attendant: Only inside
- Four pipe organs grace Duke chapel. How I regret not getting to hear them play in person.
- Check out The Counterfitters, @prayingpsalms, CAO
- Taking a short walk in the woods. Perhaps I’ll get ideas for landscaping project and SOF online.
- On Duke’s campus in Durham, North Carolina. Anybody have suggestions for things to do or see?
- Off to do a mindmeld and figure out the nature of the online universe. I expect to have more questions and few answers.
- I admire Granholm’s passion to engage and challenge bland political posturing by Pawlenty and Sanford.
- Fox moderator bails out SC gov.
- Granholm likes to touch. Not sure what I think about this.
- Is Pawlenty aware his makeup is severely applied as are his shots at Clinton? Both make him look artificial.
- Durham is lushly wooded with nudie-butt trees and fine-needled conifers in sleepy hills. Time for a walk.
- IAMER art shanty resting for future expansion. Pitch this as green but just needed a shed for a gas lawnmower. Waka!
- Is it possible that the precious red hair of a child can be illuminated in shadows + highlights by a laptop screen? God I adore this kid.
- Off to Duke country to talk online ideas. Funded. First, an art shanty rescue and eventual restoration operation.
- Vice interview w/ Nobuyoshi Araki. Those w/ delicate sensibilities, don’t read top: http://tinyurl.com/byax5h. Fresh and surprising.
- Mac won’t boot. Web script lost and can’t recreate. I’m frustrated.
- “There are some truths that can never be proven to be true.” - astrophysicist Janna Levin, http://tinyurl.com/cacbr4
- Briefly visited with physicist VV Raman at Krista’s house. A gentle man surrounded by my two boys who make civilized conversation taxing.

- Tweetfeed observation: @thichnhathanh on breathing, bookended by @anamariecox on needing more coffee and @Shuster1600 on grilling someone.
- I question if parents who quote their children on FB and Twitter don’t transpose/translate. My theories all relate to high school trauma.
- Next steps.
- Learned from @balletrusse that you wish a dancer “merde” or “toi toi toi.” Merde? Really? I’m missing some subtlety of translation.
- Thinking about spring and soil constantly. Only regret: having to pack up my Red Wings.
- A fascinating lecture by Joan Acocella about ballet and sexual kinetic energy of the female dancer.
- Retreating to Girl Talk.
- Absolutely brutal day. Resolve defines itself and my new pursuits. Looking forward to new ventures and getting my hands in the dirt again.
Chez Panisse upstairs. Berkeley though. The hills by LBNL are fine too.
- Flew a kite today with the L-man. Touched the nose of god, and smiled doing it. Spider-Man’s web tethered us to the earth.
- Witnessed a dad tell his 40.5-lb son that he’d have to skip dinner and eating tomorrow to make weight. Good grief.
- Heading to Monticello for a wrestling tournament. My kin gonna whoop up on these MN crybabies.
- The boy wakes up crying unintelligibly at 3 am. Then I really listen. One word: POPCORN. I promised. He fell asleep. He remembered.
- Salzberg on economic suffering. Filled me w/ anxiety recalling my end working in London. My rxn and some music: http://tinyurl.com/bkbmoc.
- Firefly is one of those series I regret never caught on. The cast chemistry is great.
Made some big decisions that bypassed my ego (or at least my ambitions) and helped me reorient. Now it’s time to think about landscape.
- Two boys whaling so furiously, simultaneously, that I started laughing. Bella leered; we didn’t share the same view.
- Mitzvah notes for the kids at the J. I dig it.
- Watching an incredible match from down under. And I thought the Verdasco-Nadal match was exciting.
