Mid-morning and southwest Ohio has
another sunny morning. You are bothered by George Will's column in the Enquirer
this morning. His point being too much is being spent on diversity and the
environment management at the universities in loo of money for the core
courses. You agree if that is the case. Core courses are what colleges and
universities used to be about and you do not enjoy seeing this change as it
modifies the definition of a college or university. You prefer the classical
courses of the sciences and the humanities.
And, this is the point Hartolite brings up
in Pouch 16. She enjoys the flowering in social /cultural diversity on Earth as
compared to ThreePlanets. - Amorella
I thought Pouch 16 was going to be about
'justice' not diversity.
Aren't the two connected like strands of
DNA? - Amorella
I don't think so.
1818
hours. I have an intro to Pouch 16.
Add
and post. - Amorella

Arriving
at the room a little late Justine and Hartolite are already seated and
semi-relaxed but Justin suddenly focused at the figurine sitting on the drink
stand to Hartolite's right. He asked, "What is that on the table?"
"The
finger-cup-with-a-top? It is filled with sacred water from home."
"It
looks empty. I thought it was a vase to put a single flower in, except it is
not quite tall enough."
She
smiled contentedly, "When I am homesick I put it in my pouch when I go to
sleep. It is comforting."
"Pardon?"
"I
put it in my pouch for comfort. She picked it up and quickly handed it to
him."
He
took it with self-consciousness, "It's soft. I thought it was glass."
A nasty thought hit and he tried to dismiss it. His cheeks reddened.
Hartolite
showed an immediate concern, "Are you embarrassed? I'm sorry if I
embarrassed you. What is embarrassing? I mean, if I may ask. I will try to
rectify it."
"No,
no." He looked for a place to put the object. "I'll set it down
here." He was in the process of putting the relic down and observed
Hartolite about to stand.
Hartolite quickly
stood and reached for it like he was about to spill the contents and said,
"I'll take it."
Justin
clumsily re-sat. "I'm sorry. I was afraid I might break it."

After supper of leftover turkey and a
bake potato you and Carol watched NBC News and last night's "Body of
Proof". Earlier today you watched Monday night's "Revolution"
while Carol was busy choosing clothes to take. Also, earlier you checked with
ATT and got a new chip for your iPad for the trip and set up a new thirty-day
account for Internet service. Presently you are at Kroger's for a few breakfast
essentials like skim milk and bananas. It has been at least a year since you
ordered activation of the ATT chip and decided to go with the local ATT rather
than through iTunes. Same setup, same price, fifteen or thirty for thirty days,
then you can drop the service and re-activate only when you need it. Plus, now
you can Bluetooth the iPad with the iPhone so you can get Internet service on
the iPhone for the same iPad activation. You also wrote a couple of short
commentaries on two of your FB books - Selected Poems by Emily Dickinson and The
Search for Bridey Murphy.
2057 hours. I am surprised at the
Pouch 16 intro. You have never used that lead in before, at least not that I
can remember. And, it appears more intimate faster. I am surprised by the
development so early on. And, with both Pyl and Justin married to boot. What's
going on?
In the real world, boy such temptations
happen. Marriage via the church and/or the state is cultural and there is a lot
of evidence this is the case in your own country right now. Marriage has to do
with taxes and inheritance does it not? - Amorella
I know but --
But you never have had a real affair that wasn't
legalized, right? - Amorella
True.
There are five women you could have loved,
married and been compatible with. - Amorella
You're being rather blunt here,
Amorella.
Yes, I have thought so from time to time,
but I would not have been successful having an affair because I have little
memory. You have to have a memory to be a successful deceiver in any situation.
I think I was in the fourth or fifth grade when I told some social lie and got
caught. That was enough for me. And, I've had a fantasy or two earlier in my
life of having two wives but the more I thought about it, the reality would not
be so easy -- first, I would be getting 'to do' lists from two women rather
than one and I'm not so easy to get along with anyhow so there would have been
trouble that way too. I've read about some men having five wives to if I were
married to those five women at once. No offence to any of them but I would have
been in the grave by now. Far too much trouble for someone like me. But, I have
an imagination and thought about it, probably when I was feeling sorry for
myself or bored.
All you need to have to write about an
affair is imagination, boy, and a number of books for the background. You even
had a couple in the first series. So, relax. None of this is going to happen
all at once. Hartolite and Justine will fine they are attracted to one another
that's all. - Amorella
2130 hours. Home. Justin is embarrassed
because she had the sacred water bottle in her pouch, right?
Yes,
and he was thinking about where else it could have been. - Amorella
You are embarrassing me now.
Shape up boy, there's more coming up than
you might be thinking. - Amorella
This is for my grandkids.
Give them fifteen or twenty years. -
Amorella
I'm ready to stop for the night.
That
would have been a good line, boy. - Grandma
Post.
- Amorella
2137 hours. Gladly.
