Daniel's story

After choir practice on Sunday, I went to century ballroom for the live music dance. It was the stealing apples band from Oregon.  Salem or Eugene I am not sure.  The band played a lot of various tempos of music.  There were a lot of good dancers who wanted to dance with new people.  I have noticed that the people who take classes where they practice in teams or work in choreography together are more inclined to dance with those same people.  On this night there were a lot of people, so staying with a group to dance was not so noticeable to those people not in a group. I am not a member of a group.  But I am actually in the group without a membership.  I like that.  I also think it is interesting that people in dancing make a decision not to dance with someone. There are people who have never danced with me, and who have turned me down when I had asked.  Usually I don't ask more than twice on two different occasions, before I decide that they...

Dreams don't make sense in a waking world, but in the dream anything is possible.  My dream of last night I was for some reason needed to pack everything I would need and escape the walled and guarded town I was staying in.  It was not a prison, as the homes and shopping areas where very 1950's America.  A disaster maybe political or maybe natural was going to happen and I had to pack my backpack to escape.  This is what I choose to include.  A couple of old love letters from Susan, a big plastic bag of dry roasted peanuts, a toothbrush, a dark blue sweat shirt that I have never seen before.  This all fit in my bag and I was ready to go.  I walked out the house I was staying.  It was night.  I walked along the suburban street that was lighted occasionally by a dim blue overhead light and an occasional light from am adjoining house.  I am on the way to escape, but I have no idea where it is that I need to go.  Then I woke up.  I...

Sometimes a week seems better than others.  It is Sunday and I am thinking about things that went well.  On Monday was yoga and a walk. I was cleaning  around  the house and fumiko said to me bring the thinner.  I had no idea what thinner she bought and I looked in the car.  Later I asked her what she meant.  She says make dinner.  I made dinner but then she said she didn't have time to eat it.  I said I made it she had to eat.  So we ate together.  It is funny that she wanted me to eat before going.  I was just going to skip dinner and eat after choir.  In the evening a nice choir practice with the men's Norwiegen choir.  After that I headed to Whidbey Island.  I was able to get gas, stop for a massage, and get to the ferry before 11pm.  I didn't wait long.  I had a very nice sleep.  It is so quiet there.  On Tuesday I met with the septic people.  This went well because they were able to...

We went to Abba night at the swedish club.  We dressed in colorful clothes because we thought that looked sort of 70's.  I think my shirt is pro that vintage.  It is a shirt shirt.  Fumiko got her dress in Tahiti.  We saw Doug last night.  He was looking good.  He was surprised about Caroline.  He had seen her several months before and she had an odd color to her skin.  I had the same thoughts when I saw her in August.  I thought she was just a little sick.  The Abba night was fun. I liked looking at everyone dressed in shining and sparkly clothes. The cover band, fabba had a number of different outfits.
