I"m not proud of some of the things I'm doing, at times, and conflicted with pride at the same time. For example, let's say, hypothetically, I was filing court papers to change custody for the remainder of their 17th year. I'd feel bad doing so, knowing that it's going to introduce drama, hurt, ill will and bad feelings, and resentment. I don't want that. Yet I would be doing it for the right reasons while lamenting being the one stirring the pot. It's sorta like that. Pride for intent and action, regret for the way it's perceived. Something's on my mind. Anyway, the kids are here, were all day, and it was low key. In/Out run as a late lunch then dropping Tommy at LGSR. Jen made a Chicken Picatta the was incredible. I can't believe, sometimes, how we ended up being together but it's really a good pairing, we work well, even though my anxieties and introspection seem alien to her. Tommy did a mountain drive, up one side and back around the other. I'm getting more comfortable with him behind the wheel while trying to keep him from being too comfortable just yet. 6-months, minimum, should be rigidly aggressively conservative. He did great. I want to take Lauren out again and let her do more driving, maybe I'll surprise her tomorrow am. Watch "Hacking the Mind – Weapons of influence" on PBS. It's REALLY good and expands on "The Social Dilemma" without the dramatic side to 'simplify' the concepts. Fascinating. I'm really intrigued by what lies ahead for the world, as far as educating vs commercializing, the way we connect as a species. Fingers crossed with rolled eyes.
