Had breakfast and read Saturday’s and today’s paper. You were going to mow the lawn but it has been sprinkling, later this morning perhaps, certainly today sometime.
I will mow it in part, perhaps playing Caesar conquering Gaul. That should do the trick. The day is a dreary one so far and Jadah has been following Carol around, crying when she heads outside for a few minutes. Carol’s her mother substitute, Kim is second, and I am third on the subbing list. We hope she is happy to be home. At least here she can eat her food at her leisure without Ellie, the big furry one, gobbling down more than her share. Mostly both cats had to watch out for Owen and his clutch-like pets. Ellie is very tolerant in that way. She has never even hissed at Owen. One whose common word is “cat” usually with curiosity and a smile written across his face both at once.
You did surprise the little one last Friday when Paul brought him in from daycare. You hid over behind the couch (not an easy task – too be unseen) and his eyes and smile lit up when you popped out.
That is a good a personal memory of Owen as it gets. He does appear to like his Grandpa O. At least he did at that instant. Carol had gone over with Paul to pick him up. I’m sure he lit up for her too, and he seemed a little sad when we left. As long as we (accidently) do him no harm all is well. Grandparenting does renew the childhood joy of life. I have good memories of both sets of my grandparents. Each one added stability and reassurance to my life.

I like to make sure Amorella and I are thinking on the same page.
What an understatement. Post, orndorff. – Amorella.
Suppertime. Carol is watching the local news. She and you and been working in the yard today – you finally have the grass mowed after other errands and chores. You still have to go to the store for sodas and colas of one kind or another.
Dusk. You found a book on Amazon titled: Seeking Ezekiel – Text and Psychology by David J Halperin (1993); a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina.
Below is a paraphrase about the book In context from the Penn State Press link below. The link would not post. It can probably be found by googling. The paraphrase:
Professor Halperin feels Ezekiel had a dread and loathing of female sexuality and also ambivalent feelings towards dominate male figures, one being Ezekiel’s concept of God [as seen in the “Book of Ezekiel” in the Bible]. – Amorella.
Legally I am still responsible for the paraphrase, but it makes it less likely I have done this illegally as it is a paraphrase and not a quotation, which would have put me in a quandary.
Most of the quandary, orndorff, is that once you read the piece you had the thoughts in your head and earlier you did not. Now you do not know how this will affect your description of Ezekiel in scene nine.
This is too complex to think on, Amorella, as it is you who writes while I sit lightly entranced, so to speak. This reminds me on a much different level of MacBeth who thought about killing Duncan, but who, had he accidently died or was somehow indisposed of earlier would have had the thought and the plan, but as the deed was not done he would not have had the sin of murder of a friend in his own house, no less; which certainly would have compounded the sin. Methinks that if MacBeth would have had the heart of Hamlet and Hamlet the heart of MacBeth different tales would have been told with much less fretting and starting at least in the plays.
The above is good evidence as to why some of your left brained students could not follow your lectures. Your mind, at times, appears to play reverse billiards with scattered thoughts balled up and resting quietly in the pockets being disengaged for surrealistic table play out on the green. Enough for tonight. Post. – Amorella.
