Normal is overrated


Treasures 2005_21


Perception … is a constant communion between ourselves and the living world that encompasses us.


— David Abram

Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words.
These are my Treasures for the past week.

  • Purple bougainvillea, red bougainvillea, roses, impatiens, wild flowers by the freeway…

  • A fairly relaxed work week, all things considered

  • Two delightfully weird, highly creative, web movies, sent my way; I love the Net.
    • StoreWars: in which a small band of organic vegetables — Cuke Skywalker, Ham Solo, Chewbroccoli and wise old Obi Wan Cannoli — battle against Darth Tater, evil lord of the Dark Side of The Farm.
    • Icon Story: what do PCs do when you're not watching?
  • Falling asleep with kitties.

  • Waking up with kitties.

  • Watching kitties washing 🙂

  • Meeting a small boy coming out of the drugstore with his Grandmother. He looked at me and said "Oh! She's wearing a Grinch shirt!". I turned around and said "Yes" and he took a deep breath and said "My daddy has a Grinch shirt. It's pajamas."

  • Another Solar Yellow Scion XB, this one in the hardware store parking lot bearing a San Francisco Dealer tag (so we're guessing someone bought this one!)

  • Dinner with long-time friends (former co-workers) I don't see often. One is back in the Bay Area after 6 years in New Mexico.
