Missed posting yesterday. Met with three of the men's team last night. Been a while since we've gathered. RB had been in India and will be off to Costa Rica soon. RS is going to Jamaica for vacation. RM has some travel plans as well. I don't have any--unless going to the bathroom counts.

I slept yesterday afternoon, but was still antsy during dinner. Quieted down some when I got back, but stayed fairly wired until bed time. Dreamed some yesterday during my nap. I was with my daughter and my mother. We were traveling along a river. We were making our way downstream walking on a levee. There were places where there were sheer drops, but everything was safe as long as we stayed away from the edge. It was an easy going meander down the Mississippi.

Today, I proofed the last half of my friend's Algebra chapter, and sent off the marked pages via snailmail. Problems toward the end of the chapter (word problems) were somewhat of a challenge for me. Had difficulty focusing and keeping all the data straight, but did manage to do it. Felt good to proof the work and send it off.

Picked up last year's collection of Buddhist fiction, Nixon Under the Bodhi Tree. The stories in You Are Not Here are wonderful. Look forward to the ones in Nixon. Bumped into HM while I was posting my proof pages. He's doing well--had a bout with some kidney surgery, but wasn't anything major. He's working with RS on a design self-publishing web site, and still doing music. Shared some with him of my health issues (I was really clear when I saw him--best I was feeling all day).

Had dinner at DeeDee's. Same story--not many people there. I managed to spill some of the food on my lap and stained my trousers with lovely saffron colors. Hope it washes out.

What is the true direction in my life? Still awaiting the answer to this simple question. Toward peace and stillness, I believe--it feels right! Walking down the river in my dreams!
