Eva started her beginner girls gymnastics this evening. We moved to another night (it used to be Wednesday) and it is downright pleasant here. I don't mean to be such an a-hole, but Wednesdays were mobbed here. This is better simple because there aren't so many damn people everywhere.
Why is this called "for mike"? Well, Mike is coming to visit tomorrow, and since he is just about the only person on earth who reads this, it is for him.
It has been increasingly difficult to get things down here in the past months. E warned me about this rather common affliction. I guess I would say I didn't worry about it much. I just let it roll and tried not to disappoint too much. I am going to write as best as possible and see how it goes. (This one is just babble practice) and we are all going to be happy about that.
What the hell have I been up to? Geez, my life has been absolutely awesome since I stopped writing regularly in June. I have been living in mostly peace and harmony. There was one thing that had to be sacrificed. I know that this wasn't asked of me. Quite the contrary actually. I was given permission to spill my guts and our business here. I agree that this was disclosed prior to commitments, etc, etc, but I feel and felt that this was not really polite behavior. I guess I have to get over that. I really do like writing this stuff. It is like the garbage disposal for my brain. I put my extra thoughts down here and I no longer have to keep them in my head.
Where was I?
What have I been doing?
Well, I have been enjoying myself a lot. I cannot believe how well things are going at home. Eva is great and I cannot imagine a relationship going any better than Anna and mine is. We recently returned from a 10 day silent meditation. It is really 12 days but they only count 10 of them. Also, the silent part is the easy part (I know what you were wondering). There were many thoughts that come and go when one embarks on a serious endeavor such as this. One thing that struck me over and over during my sit was how incredibly brave and strong she is. Much more than me, in fact. I told her today: you inspires me every day. How lucky am I? Ok, what else did I learn? Well, lots. I have been working on lately is overcoming all of my fears. I thought I was a pretty tough guy, but man, I am afraid of so many things. Certainly too afraid to cop to anything right now. Well maybe one here. I am afraid that I am aging quickly and am not nearly as smart and quick as I used to be.
Whoa that felt tough to write.
Anyway, Mike, I look forward to seeing you this weekend.
