We had (e:shawnr) and his wife sara(h) over for dinner last night. It was nice to hang out, although I must confess I suck at video games and we played them. Well, I kind of watched playing them although sometimes I had a controller. USually, once I figured out which character I was the game was over.

We ate lots of good food. We had tuna steaks, salad, Rider Family Potato Salad, fruit salad, smoothies, string beans and more.

HEre are the berries pre fruit salad. They were full of organic yumminess, that wegmans has at prices the coop could never dream of.

I am obsessed with blood pressure machines. I seems like every year my blood pressure gets lower and lower. Is there a "too low."

At least for us it didn't exist, we didn't have any resources before that.

I had an interesting conversation with a person who is very adept at business level interpersonal communication, so I thought I would share it with you all.

She told me the reason that verbal communication is preferred, is that it isn't recorded like written communication. An email can be forwarded or saved forever and bite you back but a phone coversation or better yet personal meeting fades with memory.

I guess that's preety good advice but seeing as I record my whole life, nothing should ever fade till the alzheimers is so bad I lose short terms memory.

I also thought about the fact that I have (yes, unethically) recorded numerous phone conversations and face to face conversations on various digital devices and wonder if she was talking into account the increased collection of data in the era of personal digital devices.

Either way, it's something to think about. If it's questionable say it with as few digital devices near you as possible, best idea is to meet someone at a nudist colony or a have a swim meeting at the lake, lol.

Nothing sucks more than being a loser careerwise. Maybe it really is time to split from this city although I really don't want to. I am so tired of feeling like a loser. I went to get my old job back today and it turned out something had to change because the two classes they were going to have me teach were at the same time, argh. So now I am going to end up being a lab technician while teaching the Advanced Programming class this semester.



Then I get home and they are tarring the parking area in our backyard, so everything smells like cancer.
