It's been a decent day. Nothing awful, stressing about some work issues, good AM dropping Tommy and later Lauren (who noted the 24/72 correlation at Panera this am). Got to remember to STOP playing alarm clock. Royal PITA. Decent work day too, another strong day, yesterday being an A and today being a B based primarily on a couple of intermittent distractions. Parent/Teacher meeting w/Chem teacher and Tommy to jump on some early 'attitude' concerns. Proud of him for showing and being as 'engaged' as he was but it's not easy for him. All in all I felt really positive about it. Dropped him at Pano and picked up Lauren walking en route too. Returned, worked through the early evening then watched a couple of documentaries on Typewriters. Enjoyable, not sure I'm a revert-convert and I did tinker with and enjoy using the one I got last night I'm not seeing it as a viable long term routine tool for what I want. All that said, though, there's something to be said for having no 'physical' access to writings that otherwise just pile up unread online. Good quote though, in defense of technology, was that the next generation doesn't want the prior generations 'ways', they want their own. I still think getting all my content into two printed volumes might be something the kids value down the road. Perhaps I'll find a way to blend photos and writing into a single 18th birthday book.
Gratitude: The smallest amount of whiskey, slowly sipped at for a couple of hours.
Goal: Multiple laps with the dog in the am.
Anticipation: Reading further, tonight, in about 20 min actually.
Watched "California Typewriter" and "Typewriters" Documentaries, the 1st of which was extremely well made, well shot, well paced and wove multiple captivating themes and storylines together nicely.
Reading "It's Not About You".
