Laundry and apologia

I think that either my brain is slowing down, or my standards are rising.  I don't know which.
I have been working on a piece now for a week and I have been spending entirely too much time on it and even after a week of work, it isn't even half done yet.  

So everyone just gets a minor update on my so-called life instead.  Yep.  It's boring too.  Been working hard at dieting (yesterday I fell off the wagon a little bit, but it was the only time in the last two weeks).  I have also been walking a minimum of 7,500 steps a day (22 of the last 24) 

Heading out next week to the annual college buddies camping trip.  Nothing exciting there, hiking in the woods, hanging out around camp, drinking beer and smoking dope.  I will suffer for a week or so afterwards, but since the tradition is now 24 years old, I feel the need to at least put out an effort.

So don't plan on anything here until the 19th.  

Be well

Nice hike and piece

Hope you had a nice hike/camping trip and drowned the suffering in sufficient water-and-salt-with-appropriate-nutrients-things }:)
If I had to guess I would say standards being higher on writing because of no deadline. Would the writing piece be a fictional or non-fictional piece? (whistling like an innocent...)
Nice times!

Mostly I have been doing the "old man pondering" routine. It is going onto three months now and with the solstice being in the rearview mirror, I have been working on sitting down every day to do at least a little writing.

Right now, the writing is amorphous. I am just writing.

The weather has been fabulous, so I spend quite a bit of time outside on walks. I have cut a deal with myself that I don't get a beer in the afternoon until I put in three miles.

Hope that you and the kiddo and the partner are doing well.

Well at least you're still kicking

Just saw your post jmg (mm), been concerned you had been abducted by bigfoot. Also been working with "Doors of Tarot", Money well spent. Hope you stay well and maybe resume sharing your thoughts and writings.

Still Kicking after a fashion.

I kinda use the Gilbert as a quick read on how to approach study. He is too "easy" and I am not trying to become a medium, but trying instead to tie together how/if the Tarot and the Qabalah tie together.

Other than that, it is just a nice summer and my tan looks marvelous.
