It's nice to just talk and talk and listen and have a meeting of two minds. I've had a couple good sessions of this in the last couple days.

Sometimes I'm the smart person who shares. That's nice too. I get to help people. Sometimes I help my friends learn new things like Python and Math and Dancing.

Parties in which I get to hang out with neat people I don't wind up seeing very often otherwise, and meet new people, and do networking.

The Gym. That'd be Bally's in Porter Square. The old, not climbing, not gymnastics, mundane gym. In which I pick up heavy things and put them down again right where they came from (unlike moving). In which I run ( Read more... )

Things I've noticed over the last few days:
Nothing bad happens to me when I get sick. My understanding coworkers wish me well and a speedy recovery. I don't lose needed irreplaceable hourly wages. I have confidence that my immune system, and if necessary the medical system, will make me well again.

I got practiced in staying up later and going on longer, but I need to practice resting better. Sometimes no matter how tired I ( Read more... )

Special thanks to flexagon for introducing me in spring 2009 to what has become my weekly acrobatics and gymnastics class. It is my regular hardest workout of the week. It is full of fun silly human tricks that I have been able to introduce other friends to. Had a good run of it tonight. :-)

There was a Thich Nhat Hanh book in which he noticed that people generally aren't happy that they don't have a toothache right now. I'm going to be happy that I don't have a toothache right now. And that I'm really decently strong and adequately fit for many purposes. I'd like to be better, but for all the lack of problems and for some things kinda ( Read more... )

It's good for dancing to, and I appreciate it at other times too. I'm a sucker for a big dramatic epic movie score, and recently bought Inception to go along with Independence Day, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Magnolia, and probably more I'm forgetting right now.
