Little bit better every day.

Re-evaluating priorities and the stories I tell myself, as they arise. It's more important to play with my nephew in the pool than worry about his math grade (although trying to help him gets mixed up in the Mom show.) Getting plenty of sub work, and good feedback from it.

Still feels like someone has cut my strings, dropping me limp to the ground, about once or twice a day. This is occuring less than it was last week, though.

Taught basic basic war maneuvering Tuesday at the new fighter practice. New fighter (Peg, very gung ho) knows LAH from geocaching, and has one of her books from a Berkeley cache. Y'know, I used to think I was well connected in the world by social networks, but I take it back. EVERYONE knew Leigh Ann. At least everyone I want to know, more or less.

Talked with Geoffeymatt about Siobhan's challenge tonight. I don't think I'll take on something new; instead, I'll up the passion on one of my already occuring thangs. It's not like I need a new passion; I could resurrect one of a thousand, from bellydance to drumming for dance to social theater to aikido to performance art to network engineering. Gardening. Shakespear plays. Sworddancing. Singing. Writing songs.

Trying to keep Greg in the loop. We'll see what happens. Perhaps he'll make the concert...but probably not, as he works until midnight Friday.

Still planning to make 8 pepper salsa (hot) for the wake. Thanks Dunc for letting me know how much of a wimp the last one was. :) No, really, I'm not that much of a chilihead.

Contemplating a long distance ride. Colorado? Metro DC? Dunno. Figure it out. Time to go and see the world.

If my company's sold and I'm off for the months that I want... care to do a long distance ride together?

Love to.

Baja? Hot. How about out to Denver, then onto DC perhaps? I've got an SCA event I want to hit in Colorado...I know it's a short long term ride, but Rocky Mountain Riding! Steamboat springs? For that matter, Provo!

Love the bed btw.

You've got crash space and company in DC!

If you want to perform for the concert at BayCon this Friday, just let me know. I've been made 'hostess.'

I like your take on the Siobhan challenge.

re: Siobhan's challenge, I was kinda thinking something similar. I'd just started the music group thing, which is a challenge on its own, but I was thinking that maybe I could augment it with some composing and non-group performing. 'Coz that would be like the ULTIMATE stretch for me, chickenshit that I am. :->

Actually (says Siobhan m.) I was, too. I'd started thinking about illumination 27 years ago, then found out I was pregnant with Jen, and never got back to it.

Elton is working on a page where we can register our quest objective -- lots of folks want to know what others are doing. I'll spread the info far and wide when it's up.
