Month: March 2005

Amy rose at 4:55am this morning and went straight to her brother’s room to play with Playmobile. I went back and asked her “why are you up? Do you want breakfast?” to which she replied, “I play with legos.”

Her vocabulary, grasp of language and the concepts that spurt from her mouth constantly amaze me. She said half a dozen things yesterday that dropped my chin.

Just as I’m starting to get into the programming groove the morning chaos blows everything away. I woke at midnight and tried to convince myself to stay up. That would have been 6 out of 8 of my work hours. 4am rolled around and I tried hard to convince myself to get up for 2 our of 8 work hours. I finally rose at 5am which was better than the normal 6am.

My 9:30am deadline is going to hit me like a ton of bricks.

I remember in my teens..would have been 14 or 15..I walked down to the pond at the end of the neighborhood, climbed a tree 10 or 12 feet high (3-4m), daydreamed for a bit, watched some people that never saw me, then I napped deeply, in the tree, on the branch with a pleasant, warm breeze as the only thought on my mind, with no worries. Irie.

I’ve decided we need to move to Colorado. Perhaps Buffalo. Mork (amz) liked it. Anyhow, the dog likes the snow very much so we need more snow!

The other day we had Molly at the dog park and ran into a family of similar size to ours that had a large, all black, German Shepherd. It didn’t take long to figure out they had both come from the same breeder in Greenback, TN. He was two years old and the family said he has finally quit chewing on things so much and is still rambunctious. He was a good 2 to 2.5 hands larger than Molly. It was a good trip to the park. Molly performed well and showed off her jumping skills after I set up two 18″ jumps before and after the large ramp. She would jump the hurdles, run over the ramp, then jump the other hurdles. She didn’t always jump and didn’t always clear but we had much fun!
