"If you perceive the true form of heaven and earth, you will be enlightened to your own true form. If you are enlightened about a certain principle, you can put it into practice. After each practical application, reflect on your efforts. Progress continually like this."

My descent into allycholly is becoming precipitous. The TV repair man called very early and told me repairs would be an additional $275 and it would not be ready until Friday. I asked if paying more would get it faster. He said no because the part has to come from Shanghai. A week without TV! I feel like I have been dropped into the 50s. Many have referred me to Hulu.com. I found one episode that I would have watched on tv. The rest of the choices must appeal to people I would not associate with. The list of shows and episodes available sounds mind-numbing vacuous. I guess I will browse the website of my favorite shows trying to find the most recent episodes.
Reading the first act of “The Taming of the Shrew” (ttots) was harder than the entire “Two Gentlemen of Verona”. The main actors in the play within the play are, to me, excessively flowery and obtuse. Still I am pleasantly surprised to realize ttots is nothing like I remember from college. Maybe as a riper person I can focus better and have more life experiences with which to connect to the story line.
A WEEK!!
The female cat has apparently had her run of “HEAT”. The piteous mewing and slut dancing before any moving object has ended. I hope for a long time.
I have been having the most vivid dreams involving people I have worked with in the past in chemical plants I have never seen. Some of the venues are apparently in a weightless environment because we seem to be able to float from place to place. Amazingly we are not wearing any kind of “space suit”. Furthermore I mostly did not work with such relationships. I never turned a knob to change the reflux ratio on any tower. Last night I dreamed I was on the Russian steppes with a fellow foreman from a job I had in 1971. I don’t even remember his name. We were in an archeological dig of some sort.
I must clean the Koi filter tomorrow and rehang one of my wind chimes. I need to start rebuilding one of the chimes since I finally have all the needed repair parts. I also need to buy fish oil capsules at Costco and pick up my prescriptions at Kroger.
I have been able to greatly cut back on my “bad pop”. The bottle I started September 6, 2011 is still over half full. That works out to be just under a quarter of a fluid ounce per day. In other words my blood alcohol content never exceeds 0.0008%. That is likely 1/500th of a typical USA Congressman.

A couple was invited to a swanky costume party. The Mrs. got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time being spoiled by not going.
So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awakened without pain and, as it was still early, decided to go the party.
Since her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice woman he could, and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.
His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his current partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new babe that had just arrived. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband. Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed.
So off they went to one of the cars and had a quickie.
Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked what kind of a time he had.
He said: "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not here."
"Did you dance much ?"
"I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening. But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to...."
”There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.”
