“Hi. Um. Remember me?”

I went to a yoga class tonight about 4 miles outside of Winchester. It's all country here. Except for the bypass, every single road is a two lane country road, lined with trees, birds, and roadkill. I'm driving my mom's car while I'm here, since she can't. Somehow, somewhere along the line, I cleverly deduced that the gas gauge was broken.

Guess what? It works just fine!!! I know because it's been on empty for a couple of days and–gasp–I ran out of gas right outside of town on the way back from . . . → Read More About “Hi. Um. Remember me?”

BBQ Chips, Ale 8 One, two Oreos and a Twinkie

That's a typical lunch in Kentucky. Ok, just kidding. It's what I had for lunch one day. Little miss health food here. Gosh, it was good.

Ale 8 One is the local soft drink, created, made and bottled in Winchester, my hometown. In fact, I'm staying in the founder's son's first wife's home, so there's plenty of Ale 8 around!

DAILY REFLECTIONS July 4 IDENTIFYING FEAR: "The chief activator of our defects has been self-centered fear…" When I feel uncomfortable, irritated, or depressed, I look for fear. This "evil and corroding thread" is the root of my distress: Fear of failure; fear of others' opinions; fear of harm, and many other fears. I have found a Higher Power who does not want me to live in fear and, as a result, the experience of my spiritual program is freedom and joy. I am no longer willing to live with the multitude of character defects that characterized . . . → Read More About Fallout (or More On The Hangnail)

What’s On My Mind:

The Gulf oil "spill", what else? We are sorta safe here in Costa Rica, but this will affect the world, I have no illusions about that. Check out the new SpillCam. Unless you like sleeping at night.

On the Master Plan

So much has happened since last post, I can’t think where to start. This episode really begins with the Key West trip, so let’s start there.

Pero primero (but first), the really big news: Winston has 99.9% recovered from heatstroke. When I left for Key West 10 June, he was like a little old man. He slept all the time, moved very slowly, pretty much “fell” down rather than laid down. It was very sad for all of us. He was alive and seemed happy, not in pain, but not himself. Even so, we were thrilled with . . . → Read More About On the Master Plan
