Last day of school. Convergence of events and the delay of my solstice card. An idea for colorizing windows. Original thoughts, _Softwire: Rings of Orbis 1_, and creating our own work. Next stage for the podcast. I speedwalk race a first grader for part of the hill.

Summer solstice card will be delayed this year due to art taking longer than anticipated. Freeware painting app. Problems with internet search engines. Some of the reaction at work due to my resignation.

Three reasons for not playing in the staff/5th grade softball game. Bee stung right foot. Surprising popularity of summer school. Further thoughts on "Star Trek: TOS" Season One.

Summer solstice approaches and my card is nearly ready. The joy of writing. Triathlon training update.

After one swim, I love my Eagle goggles -- can't wait to use these at La Jolla Cove. I cut through the fields and stadium of the high school for a quieter episode. My impressions of the original Star Trek's first season from watching the first six shows on DVD.

Cottontail rabbit, worm wiggling on the side walk, pizza slice on a car's roof: quite a way to start the show. The mystery of last week's missing episode. Why was Ichiro's name in katakana at yesterday's baseball game? Aquasphere's "Eagle goggles" and yesterday's 30K bike ride. Returning to my decision to leave my job.

Should eco-tourism be just for exotic, distant locales? Why not practice the ideals of it everywhere we go? Great ambience delivered by a high school girl asking her two friends, "Is the liquor store open?" Deciding it's time to leave my job. What to do next?

Training report: cycling. My need to improve my T1 time. New plant for the class due to a malicious act at school. Christopher DeLaurenti was recently in the NY Times and that leads me to talk about music, performances, and audiences. High fatigue for my left arm after carrying the plant the entire show.

40th anniversary of the release of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Three amazing albums of 1967 and a somewhat comparison of The Velvet Underground's first album to "Sgt. Pepper's". Blue blaze connotations walking up the hill which leads to near stream of consciousness rambling and ends at the theme of dreams in "Sgt. Pepper's".
