All is well. I'll be starting at Notre Dame in two weeks.
As you can see I'm going in prepared with a new pair of glasses. The optometrist said my left eye is so bad that if I lost my good one, I wouldn't be able to drive a car. This explains the eye strain I've lived with since childhood.
I can't wait to be a student again, I definitely have the right mind for it now. I'm never in any hurry to run out, get hammered and escape things. Times have certainly changed ;).
I had a talk with a customer recently in the liquor store, an ex-patriate Italian. All about the pleasure of a home cooked dinner with a guest and one or two glasses of wine. I considered the futility of extreme regulations such as vegetarianism and refraining totally from alcohol.
Everything has its place, No one element or ideal should govern the others.
Something really clicked since my Chef Apprenticeship. Responsibility. Probably has a lot to do with the Buddhism as well.
No complaints, no regrets, everything has been valuable. It's so important to keep moving between roles, environments and social groups. It keeps me honest, and it keeps me on my toes.
