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

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.
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

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
