A Day's Events

And, although this is not a normal one, I've come to understand that there are no such creatures in my life. Nevertheless, here is part of today:

  1. My son needed to go to the emergency room at 3:00am for asthma treatment.
  2. Hundreds were wounded; dozens died in a bombing in India
  3. I met a remarkable young man, recently graduated from MIT, with a brain that sees possibilities, who also understands how to make those possibilities real
  4. I worked two full-time jobs
  5. I was offered another
  6. North Koreas still has nuclear capabilities
  7. My daughter couldn't tape 'General Hospital' at school because I don't understand VCRs
  8. CNN interviewed a 12-year old medical student
  9. I had two cyber friends and colleagues offer me their shirts (figuratively)
  10. My dad didn't yet die from multiple myeloma
  11. Mars is orange and not red - at least through plain eyes, viewing from Cape Cod
  12. The kids a few towns over got interviewed because they made it into (but lost) the Little League World series
  13. No one at work mentioned Daniel Pipes
  14. 38 people (unbenounced to them) tried to infect me with the SoBig virus
  15. 2 tried to tell me how to avoid the virus
  16. I use a Mac
  17. I didn't kill anyone driving the 92 miles home (alhtough a few choice words escaped in the privacy of my car)
  18. I heard interviews with prison officials about the hows and whys and what-nots regarding the killing of a prison inmate convicted of 150+ counts of child molestation
  19. I learned more reasons not to believe in God's benevolence and omnipotence
  20. I didn't get too many emails about Arnold- the Terminator - Shwarzenager (apologies for any gross misspellings)
  21. I learned I will never, no mattter how much I desire, learn all there is to learn...

And I realize that most people live similarly fragmented disjointed days. And the puzzle we each need to solve lies (I think) in understanding ourselves, the world we live in, and our relationship with those we know (and don't) that inhabit the same space... and...

And tomorrow, the fun begins again.
