coping skills
So, instead of snarfing down double cheezburgrs with wild abandon, I ended up working out several times a day. I had a lot of anger to work through. Anger at not being in control. I've lived a charmed life at my job - always getting what I wanted. Always satisfying my ego. Promoting my research. A good lesson in reality that sometimes the system is random in its cruelty.

I also baked. Homemade, Homegrown chicken soup thick with carrots, celery, onion, potato, and dumplings. High fiber, low sugar, but still delicious cinnamon pecan rolls.
I need to refocus. I went deep into meditation and let my mind wander, finally achieving some peace.
I also spent the weekend working through home improvement type jobs - putting the cold box back together. Getting supplies for the front deck (stain) and garage door (paint). I went to the Grand Nationals on Saturday night with L and got a healthy dose of leather and pipes. Little River Band was playing on the main stage.
My September lecture circuit to the desert southwest is still on the calendar. Starting on Sept 14th, I am in Reno NV, Irvine CA, Las Vegas NV, Tucson AZ, and ending up in Santa Fe, NM on Friday night. Mostly speaking at the universities about the technological/scientific aspects of renewable energy - specifically biofuels. Assuming I get permission for some extra days, I am planning on spending the autumnal equinox weekend in Los Alamos or Albequerque NM with some friends and perhaps visiting the good folk at sunflowerriver when they return from their camping trip.
Berries for breakfast!
