Notes - rattling on /

         Early afternoon. Carol had her breakfast at First Watch with friends; you took a nap after morning chores. Once Carol was home you took a leisurely bath for arthritic conditions then drove to Great Clips for a haircut and beard trim from Mary Ann who you feel is the best beard trimmer you have ever had in the States. Carol is napping but you have errands to run and lunch once she wakes up. You have Chapter Eight in sectional documents and are ready to begin.

         1302 hours. Mary Ann said it has been eight weeks so it was time for her expertise. We always chat. All four of her children had Mr. King and I like that when sibling follows sibling for the same teachers. A family bonding develops which is interesting. I don’t know if is ever studied but it is positive for all involved when it happens. It is similar to the bond when old friends shared the same teachers. Some may argue that it is not professional to become too friendly. But I cannot imagine it becoming too caring for those within the bond. Most people know how this is on one level or another. I always liked to think of my students as ‘family’ on a second or third cousin level – some become closer though, like nieces or nephews. Learning/teaching is as a human family enterprise.

         Your problem orndorff is that you have done this transcribing so long that it is second nature to rattle on. – Amorella

         1318 hours. You are right, but you did not ask me to erase it. I had to read it to know what I said. I was just considering in the silence.
