Thanks for the fish

tomorrow can’t already be monday? Is time moving faster than usual? We went to Boston yesterday and spent almost the whole day at the science museum. It was fun. We just looked at and played with the exhibits, went to the planetarium and saw a little movie, and poof the day was gone and we were back in maine. I blew off the xmas party, and it doesn’t sound like  I missed too much. Had another party today, which was fine, though I probably won’t work with those people much longer. I feel like I’ve gained 20 pounds in the last week. yuk. I can feel more chins growing by the minute. And yet all I want to do is eat and drink (and be merry).

Watched a charlie brown xmas. There’s not really much of a plot. : ) But I got a great new saying out of. “Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you’re the Charlie Brownest.” I’ve used it on J at least once a day since. He’s a bit of a charlie brown.

Finished “Finding Flow.” It was a little fluffy. Now I’m reading “The power of now” which also seems a bit fluffy. Same basic concepts though.. .living in the moment, finding enjoyment in routine things, etc. which I think is a worthwhile concept.

I have verse 2 of my song written. It really is very therapeutic. I try to find rational explanations for what people do and what they’ve done, but it’s pointless. I can’t even find rational explanations for I myself do. Writing songs sort of makes you be more philosophical about it. And of course there’s always a resolution of some sort at the end. Like “there!” now THAT’S over with.

The only thing I bought yesterday (other than 2 bottles of grey goose at the NH liquor store) was a little dish that has a nautilus shape on it. I’ve decided that the nautilus is my symbol. So I had to buy it. It’s kind of cool. It says it is a “fossil ammonite”. Whatever that is.

Christmas shopping is almost done and 2/3 of my cards are going out tomorrow. Actually I think I’ll finish up my shopping online right now and then work on my book. I’ve been working on it about once a week, which is not as much as I would like, but that’s the way it is.

Working on “Oh Tannenbaum” from charlie brown and love it. Finally something I actually like working on.
