Yeowza !

Greetings y'all :

Well folks I looks like the top troglodyte managed to not actually post yesterday's blog while simultaneously losing it in the ether world. Yeowza !!! What a maroon!

So I supposed spend a second and a succinct synopsis should be submitted. Here is the Readers Digest Condensed version of the last 48 hours or 2,880 minutes or 172,800 seconds. Life is good, God is good, my heart is light so good night. Too succinct ?

Ok Ok , sheesh tough crowd today, but I deserve after not ensuring my mindless ramblings actually posted. See because you read this I feel obligated and blessed to write my thoughts down daily ( or so apparently) . But alas there is no truly altruistic act; I benefit from revisiting , reviewing and reflecting . I write for me and anyone willing to listen err read. Meanwhile back at the ranch ...

Tuesday evening we drove home from my appointment, back roads naturally and of course top down as well. Our motto is the top is down unless there's precipitation, seems we need a new motto. It stated drizzling oh so lightly and the boy wonder said keep it down . Hmmm we made a deal next red light it would go up. So we turned on Nadira Shakoor and sang in the rain. Needless to say we drove the remaining 15 miles without a single stop light or stop am the rain increased. Being that we are Pisces we laughed and laughed.

At night the storms really began raging. The sky looked like God turned on his strobe light and cranked the music, with thunderous bass, and he danced as well in the rain. The rain and the window , the thunder an the lightening were beautifully fierce or was that fiercely beautiful? Yes of course we turned out the lights , opened the windows and watched God TV. Best show around and it doesn't cost a thing accept time.

Yesterday was MRI for my ankle/foot , the pool and Mowgli had karate . We followed that with a trip to the library. Raise you paw if you like getting lost in the library? The pool was hilarious but heartwarming! Man Cub had equipment malfunctions , goggle were not cooperating so fish boy spent the first 90 minutes adjusting, tugging, and figuring it out. I offered advice but he is self reliant at times (some may call it defiant but I shall reframe it as a positive attribute with him which in turn makes it easier to work with) . He finally figured it and fit to jump and play for an hour or so. My other lesson I am teaching him is to use self reliance for self entertainment. It was painful not swimming with him, but he proved he can play by himself nicely.

Now folks you know I love playing with an being with my sol Invectus more than anything else but I've been worried that some of his attention seeking behaviors are a product of my constant attention on him. He can't get that in school, so we set yesterday up as something he can refer back to : hey I can sit in class for thirty minutes and not be the center of attention. I guess this is another product of being a single child to a helicopter parent that is in love with his progeny. He can't change until I change.

We've been reading The Essential Dalai Lama to each other at bedtime for the last week. It's been amazing, the reading and snuggling and the way Man Cub absorbs and thinks about it. Reading a book together and discussing it is a fascinating activity. I hear the voice inside my head ( I'll wait for your punch line on that _______) when I read but it's biased from my song line, experiences , and view point. Hearing a different perspective is eye opening, mind opening and heart opening.

Today is our last unscheduled week day of summer vacation. So I'm off to spend it with junior mint . It's our tech free day ... Heading off the grid in
