Notes - ornaments down / sketches / lunch and OSU / tardigrade

         Early afternoon. Carol is meticulously putting the Xmas ornaments back in their boxes. You have come downstairs from your forty minutes of exercises; both cats are staring out the front window waiting to startle birds of any size or colorization. The cool sky is Ohio gray with stratus cover. You are wondering if you have lost the ability to continue the chapters that you somehow have burnt out in these last two month of basic inactivity. Adding material like I have suggested does not have to mean a complete re-write, boy. You grew ambitious to try something new, the story from a different view, from the soul’s perspective but as you do not know what else to do with it, i.e. no words follow, may I suggest you finish up chapter seven completely then we’ll work on chapter eight again, finishing it up and move on from there. – Amorella

         1321 hours. That sounds reasonable enough but I wanted to find out a bit more about the souls being children of Angels. I am really intrigued by the concept because it allows me to see various stages of the metaphysics that I have not thought about before. I like my imagination to have an order and use to it otherwise this is a waste of time – except for personal contentment in retirement. I could take up art – charcoal sketches and the like – still life.

         Once you return from lunch all you’ll have to do is take the tree down to the basement along with the piano stool and butcher block used as the tree stand. You are both quite pleased with Kim and Paul’s old Xmas tree. Post. - Amorella


         You drove to Cracker Barrel for a late lunch Carol had her usual trout and you had the breakfast sampler for a change. You even tried a bite of grits to remind yourself why you didn’t like it. Presently you are stopped at Kroger’s on Mason-Montgomery Road for bananas and possibly a bakery bread. Carol mentioned that next Thursday is Mary Lou’s birthday and is planning on asking her out to eat also since you will be up for your senior class gathering. – Amorella

         1618 hours. We are home. I called Kim for a minute at the grocery and didn’t realize this was her nap time. I just wanted to chat. What she talked about was Ohio State football. Last night they beat Alabama. I thought it was a bowl game but it was a playoff game. Now they are up for the championship game next weekend. Then she talked about how they lost a quarterback before the season began and the second string quarterback had done a good job; they only lost one game, then he got injured and the third string quarterback was playing and they won. I’m glad they did, that’s exciting enough to see why they are excited. I don’t know why I didn’t hear about this. Sometimes sports is on the local news which I do watch from time to time but I don’t remember anything about Ohio State being mentioned; and they played in New Orleans of all places I didn’t know there was a New Orleans Bowl at New Year’s. I should pay more attention to sports. I did watch part of the Olympics and part of a Brown’s game this year; make that a Bengals game – one of the two. I think they both wear orange jerseys.

         Enough orndorff. Look it up if you are that interested. – Amorella

         1632 hours. I am ready for a nap.

         Evening. You watched an “Elementary” you missed when originally shown, then finished “Sleepless in America” on National Geographic. You had cereal for supper. You are both upstairs while the cats are sleeping downstairs; Carol is watching the Home and Garden channel.

         2139 hours. I saw this in a Wired article on best science of 2014. As others have suggested it would be interesting to see if these small creatures could survive on Mars.

The Incredible Critter That’s Tough Enough to Survive in Space

This edition of our Absurd Creature of the Week column features one of our favorites creatures ever: the tardigrade. Also known as the water bear, this exceedingly tiny critter has an incredible resistance to just about everything. Go ahead and boil it, freeze it, irradiate it, and toss it into the vacuum of space — it won’t die.  EYE OF SCIENCE/SCIENCE SOURCE

         Your real wonder here is that they could survive most anywhere water and a form of algae-like food exists, and have. Everyone’s asleep, boy. Post. - Amorella
