Departure

 

Missed it!

I saw I’s plane in the air at 6:55 but could not snap a pic fast enough so just got the Air. Ain’t that always the way?  We left the house about 435 and had to turn around to go get the wallet with the ID three minutes later  Arrived in plenty of time with probably too many instructions for him and granddad walked him up to the security line After they rushed off without saying goodbye to me, dirty dogs! Red slowed me down So I thought I missed them, butThey did see me in the terminal entrance anyway. One more hug  Of course I found I had left the car engine turned on. Again  I hate those Automatic start buttons!  Email flurry already this morning. Amusing. We need to rewrite my morning startup. I guess excluding my grandson.

Happy 58 th Anniversary

 

Housefly dying. Rather beautiful 

Hot time, summer in the city

 

Trio

Staying indoors it’s so darn hot. I have saddle sore from sitting so much At the top of my Right leg really hurts. S left early to bed but no hard feelings.  I’m feeling better, not trying to control everybody but the heat is irritating me. 

We finished reading The Hedge Knight. So good!  ALLAN also read Samuel to me today  I and I watched another Korean film, Memories of Murder. Very disturbing film. 

Broke down and wore the shorts

Day to Knight

What a fine hobby. 

Great surprise at the park when S, I and I took Red to the park in the early evening yesterday.  A club of knights was breaking up, but I got a chance to chat with a couple of them while the kids my progeny walked the dog for ten minutes. Fun!

Webinar friction

 

Last night

Stephan at Deutsch- English session today. Dread. But some smooth discussion after he launched a mini assault and we duked it out verbally.  “I resent…. Women don’t… I’m 70 yrs old..  I accept your apology.”  “I didn’t apologize. Gurdjieff paid the man who created friction at the Prieury. I like you; you’re an interesting person. I am rude; I work on that.”  Not dull. 

Deck time

 

Heute

Mini golf with JG fell through so w are spending pleasant summer morning on the deck. We had a confrontation and conversation re eye contact and joining talk in front of N during a break from her weeding work. N even commented essentially some people weren’t raised right. Probably over the head. We certainly differ in our social expectations I and I. I think I will suggest etiquette lessons to his dad, not that it will do more than offend. But offending never stopped me. Other than social awkwardness, he’s perfect. My concern for that trait is failed opportunities for him in employment and friendships. Now I’ve observed and discussed the situation, I can mention to E then let it go

   MF said in webinar yesterday, “ disappointment is not an emotion. It is a situation, probably accompanied by emotions like anger, fear, sadness. But once you see it, Freedom from illusion the results.

Beautiful tonight

 

Willard strollers

Probably 13 or 14 years since I went to SMCC or Willard Beach. So beautiful, I forgot and so close to the whole harbor unlike the Portland side.  We talked to a lovely lady and her tiny frail 18 year-old doodle extensively while I walked to the beach. I could not get down on the beach in a longer. The rocks are too treacherous, and the path I remembered was blocked. A very fine evening, all in all  

  I and I watched a terrific South Korean film til late in the day, “No Choice”. And I mentioned another called “Parasite” to get on demand before he leaves if we can.  I learned a lot from people, especially our children. 

Hey! This isn’t right!

Classic. See the headlight?

Good God

Live music. How rare

Thank you. But how awful to make an internet meds and waste countless hours fretting it. Pleasant though to go to Wbk Connect in cool evening shade with I and A and Red. We shared a tasty quesadilla as well as the

Vendors: flea market

Unpleasant dreams every morning, dammit. Stress and anger apparently 

Lobster role today?

 

Yes indeed. And fried clams (mine)

A good day yesterday, all in all. I walk into town for lunch at Don’s  See throw past him happily talking on his phone  I didn’t see it so I don’t care  

  Pearls before Swine comic strip has been right on target regarding my mood lately: today Wise Ass on the hill Answers Rat’s question, what is the key to contentment?   Realizing that you can’t change other people. No, what are you gonna do?  Still try to change other people. Not sure why I do this  Good advice for me
