Weekend whizzed by! Where does all the time go? I blink my eyes and two days have vanished.

Watched a Korean film called Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring. The film was set in a beautiful valley on a lake. A monk lived in a floating temple with a young boy. The boy was being trained by the monk to take over when the monk passed away. The story followed the flow of the five seasons in spirit but not in actual time. Each season showed a snapshot in the lives of the monk and the boy. The setting was exquisite. The story a bit forced and repetitive. There were some mystical elements that seemed to stop the action rather than propel things along.

I dreamed last night that I was joining a technology company that specialized in database products. I had been hired with the understanding that I was not an expert in database sciences. I was there because I was good at coming up with clever ideas of how to re-purpose or invent ways to use existing products. The dream was very "quiet" with everyone interacting in almost formal ways. There was a key meeting in the dream when I heard an explanation of some database concepts that gave me some starting places for coming up with several new ideas.

I just remembered a person I saw while I was at dinner last night. It was a middle aged man who was eating dinner with two elderly people (probably his parents). He was moving very slowly and was having difficulty using his utensils. He appeared to have PD or he was on some heavy medication. I finished before they did so I didn't get to see him walk. His parents got up several times to refill his drinks and such. He looked terrible! I couldn't get him out of my thoughts. He made me think about where I might be headed. I see me everywhere! In the actions and behaviors of a lot of people. The world is my mirror! I don't like what I keep on seeing!
