         Playing Solitaire on my computer helps me accept the vagaries of life. Turning each card presents new paths and new information about what to do next.  And when I fail, it is fine, I just start over again.  I complete maybe 10 percent of the games, sort of like my life now.

         A low flying plane roars over my house at lunch.  I kept waiting for the sound of a crash. Nothing happens.

         I am giving a short talk at noon on Friday at Brown Bag Zen.  What to say? More important what is interesting to me? What is appropriate? So many ideas.

         I am tired of stupid TV shows. I am looking for good documentaries like the one about Margaret Atwood. I AM READING Anne Boyer’s book THE UNDYING, a meditation on modern illness. I am particularly interested I learning more about my alive peers, you know, people who are in their eighties.
