Us you and me
River sea ocean
Moving on so far away and dreaming
Quality sea
Mix it to ocean…
When I looked ahead to having the first two days of this week off, I had all sorts of grand plans. I planned to do an insightful blog post on the collapse of American Capitalism. I had penciled in time to get ahead of my lectures for the remainder of the semester. I was going to read through my students’ lab notebooks and make comments on their work so far. I fully intended to knock of a couple of tardy reports for my other job.
But instead, I let all that go and actually took two days off. And I spent them with my son. And we went to the beach (have I mentioned how much I like living on the coast?). And we had ice cream. And I lived in the days. And I’m glad that I did. Days like these are few and far between and Boy Z is growing up faster than I would have ever imagined possible. Got to take the chance when the chance presents itself.

Far away
Let it go
Far away

Good for you. That was a good thing for you both. And I’m sure the American economy isn’t going to improve before you can whip that post together.

You are totally correct…there will always be work there for you tomorrow, no matter how much you get done today.

Last week I went two days in a row to the park. Very happy about that. Although he gets bored quickly there. Unless there are other kids. Then he stares at them and at their parents, being all cute.

Not to be the dissenting voice here, but I’d be interested in your post about the fall of American capitalism.
Your posts about the Catholic church & Palin and your music selections have passed my witness test, so I’ll be back.
And that boy, well, he IS kind of cute!

How very Buddhist of you, being completely present in the moment.
I, likewise, am very interested in the Capitalism post but I’m glad you had super, happy boy day funtime.

JK – It did and then I went back to a gigantic hurry up, hurry up day at work that erased all that soul restoration.
SSG – He’s giant compared to last time you saw him. And he has a big old pot belly!
Nichole – I’m pretty sure the American economy isn’t going to improve until we get a new president.
Nathan – yeah there was exactly two extra days worth.
P.I.S. – the park rocks, we get there quite a bit when I’ve got days off.
Meg – hi and welcome and you’ve got the fall of capitalism post. I aim to please.
Chris – I’ve always toyed with Buddhism but never been able to get my head fully around it.
CMGD – thanks, sugar.
FGIS/Gypsy – they are and there ain’t enough of ‘em.
Alex – they probably would, when are y’all coming out?
Matthew – what’s this throwing around of big four syllable words? Done.
Vixen – amazing how much of life can be compared to a country song.

On a completely different note, Z looks like Dr O’C in the first photo. And he is very stylishly dressed!!
