Educating Danny

That was not a bad weekend

I suppose that it could have been better, but I know that it could have been worse. A nice dinner and then the bookstore with Natalya on Friday. Saturday, I went and got a tree. It was windy. I returned home. I knew that whatever I wanted to do I wanted to do it with the kids. I think that we ended up doing stuff here at home. That's right. The nice dinner and bookstore was Saturday. We went to Boulder on Friday. She was very late. She told me that she got caught in traffic. Really she was just not interested in being on time. She doesn't plan well. There is something to be learned there. We need to plan well. The seven habits of highly effective people. I should get that book and read it. I got the lamp put in the office. I am pretty happy about that. I got the space all cleaned up at work. I am pretty happy about that. I need to install that other software. I need to clean up the Mac computer at work. I don't know that today is a day for that.

I also need to make good on the promises that I made to Olga and to Nana.

There were a lot of good tapes at the book store. I wish that I would not have bought the ones I bought. I saw a lot that looked much better. Once we need to play around.I also need to take care of the things that I agreed to do for the ice queen. That's how I think that I will refer to her from now on. The ice queen. That's kind of nice. I hope that she is doing better. I somehow doubt it. Also I am not going to work so much. I am going to be working just what I need to. I am also going to try and focus and really get a lot done. That's really what I want. I want to focus and move ahead. So that all of my motion is economical and effective. No wasted movements. Not wasted activities. Everything is dual purposed. So there could be something tonight like dual purpose activities. Something like that. I will keep thinking about it.

Thoughts about Randy

It was Randy's birthday not too long ago. I never did reach him by phone. I wish that I would have. I need to call him and see how he is doing. Joe, it seems, has a little brother. One brother. Never did do much. Sometimes it's easy to see a degree of failure in Joe as well. A kind of delusion about it all. A kind of closed mind. Too much thought. Not enough feeling. Something like that. Lisa will be working with us this summer. I wish that she was going to be working more directly with us. I really want to hear all about it. Hey Lisa. I really want to hear all about it. That would really just be fantastic. I remember some thoughts that I had about a conversation, actually more of a lecture that I would like to have with her about doing what you love. I would like her to understand that doing what you love is more important then anything else.

Educating Danny

So there is still a lot there to work on. A lot of Russian. A lot of Computers. A lot of software and a lot of other stuff to think about and to worry about. So I will work on all of that. I need to. Education is of the utmost importance. I was thinking about taking notes the other day. I was thinking about what someone was saying about taking notes about how it help reinforce what was learned. Yes, that is the importance of exercises. Do what you have studied. Make it work. So that I will do. I am actually beginning to wonder if I am trying to write to much. I think that is not it. I think that I just write to slow. I need to write faster. That means that in the morning I need to think more clearly and write faster.

Wendy

She never responded after the e-mail that I sent her. I wonder if she ever will. You know, in some sense I don't feel all that bad, or at least I'm not all that worried about it. It was all "the act". That is I am trying to develop the act. That means that I am trying to put an act together. The act of course is the total and complete honesty about who I am and what I think and feel. That is the act. That is what I want to develop. I want to do that without any aids from drugs or alcohol. The best quantity of alcohol is none.
This is really going slow. So anyway, what I want to do with Wendy is to keep working it. To keep on fasioning it into some kind of a statement. That is really what I want to do. There is something to that. I can make it into art. That is the whole point of all of this. Creativity. There is really something to that idea. So today I will continue to work on that. There is also another little project that I want to work on. It is to make the office into a kind of artwork. To really make it say things. All of the things that I want to do. I really like the way that the people at the IBM communications or marketing department have put together a theme. I would like to do that too. I would really like to do that. Write a little book and publish it. One Voice. A little piece of marketing material. That would really be something. Wouldn't it? I will need a different kind of focus for that. But I do think that it is something I could do. Not all that hard. I want to do it. I want to go back and look at some of the work that one guy did in design.
