XV J XX

In the Dark Hour between awakening and sunrise. Were it light one would immediately recognize the fog but it is dark so it doesn’t matter what you call it or say, dark trumps fog UNTIL light.

Yesterday was grande, an XL day and no way will today top it or even come close so just resigning to that fact. Just get thru safe and unharmed and things should be fine.

SO CAN WE GET A RECAP, AN AMEN OR A HALLEHLUHA ?

Why not.

At the initial log on there was a text waiting received overnight from S1. He met an investor, a venture capitalist, who he feels is a strong candidate for the Wild Swine project. He is going to set up a meeting and today my prime objective is visit APL and get a NDA form to print and sign.

Whenever the meeting is, first thing is get him (them) to sign it and then we can share the business plan to date and they can decide to or not run with it.

S1 is hyped up about it and I am finally relieved as a parent that he just might have found a passionate cause worthy of the time and trouble.

Disgusting and appalling news headlines yesterday confirms my abstinence from ALL media.

Houston and Boston managers and GMs fired for ‘stealing signs’. This is absolutely ridiculous.

WHAT’S YOUR SLANT?

Players have been 'stealing signs' forever. Trying to anyway. Even in Little League we tried but it became a distraction. I mean you still had to step up to the plate and bat, try to hit the ball.

It is a NYY conspiracy to take down their main competitors so the yankees can win the world series again. I mean just LOOK at it. Dig deep.

The coup de grais would be if the RedSox hired AJ Hinsch and Houston hired Cora but I don’t think that is realistic.

The British royals are back in the news and I saw a picture of a cardashian at a basketball game. Now THERE’S some news.

OK.

Brief entry today. I have already worked out and it is warm inside this morning. No Siberian comforter last night at all and awoke overheated.

The art projects are crying for progress. I must connect with some career contacts that failed yesterday and while stopping at the Home Depot for some paint and hardware I bought some plants for transplanting.

WHAT’D YOU GET?

Brussels Sprouts, broccoli, some lettuces, a chard mix, dill and some thyme.

I did manage a bike ride yesterday and the fresh air and pulse quickening was marvy.

At APL I checked out dvds of Twilight Zone 'Fan Favorite' compilations. Rod Serling was from Binghamton (NY), well ahead of his time and a pioneer in early television suspense, science fiction and drama.

Also I checked out and started reading a book by GK Chesterton. Orthodoxy just into the Preface is brilliant. Elegant in its simplicity and very close to my own work here or rather I see many striking similarities.

I can see myself taking a break from dreadful daily routines and finishing this little book quickly and possibly others by Chesterton.

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT HIM?

Funny back story. In the Preface he talks about ‘discovering’, amnesia and rediscovering.

His name is prominently displayed with the credits of the Father Brown BBC series. The characters are based on his work. I looked him up and he was a very prolific, brilliant, simple and elegant journalist and writer. Very witty.

I THINK I might have found another Hero.

Anyway, all that aside, thru his life he migrated to Christianity and became a Roman Catholic as God and His mysterious ways was the only possible explanation and solution for true Happiness and even pleasure. Chesterton’s journey I imagine will be spelled out and captured in detail and I expect I shall buy a copy of the book and have it in my library to loan to anyone that I might convince to be interested enough to read.

But I seriously doubt I will find anyone soon with a keen enough interest to read let alone a spiritual

to theological book no matter how large the type or few the pages.

Stay tuned for more details as I work my way thru what should be this short, quick and fun read.

Must post up here and dash.

I see by the news a democratic candidate debate was held last night. A sharp pencil in one ear and out the other would be more appealing here I am thinking. I suppose this has to be done but such a waste. I mean what could Smilin' Joe Biden have to say of interest? ALL of them are babbling trying to figure out what UNDECIDED voters WANT TO HEAR.

I have seen inside this political game, seen it and it is as bad as it gets. Politicians are no more that poll dancers and once they have your dollar (IOW 'vote'), they move on to ... get ready, the NEXT vote or next election.

SO WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?

Look Ms Bold Caps, I am trying to get out of here and WRAP THIS UP. Por favor.

I TRIED to listen to the Stars game on the radio. I say tried because they were on the road and atmospheric conditions were favorable for a phenomenon called ‘skip.’ The radio waves bounce crazily off, around and into the atmosphere and horribly garble the signal so I only heard isolated pieces. This team was down and came from behind to win in OT and are starting to convince yours truly they may be real and have a good chance to go deeper into the playoffs. A good test is coming up next week when Tampa Bay comes to town. My two favorite teams on a battle royale.

I MAY have to spring and go or at least watch it somewhere on telly.

If all else fails, the radio will be most pleasurable here at home. Such is life.
