Today marks 1600 consecutive days of meditation. I could never stop now.

25 years ago today, I went to work at the radio station, and the TV was on. The first plane that hit. As I stood there and watched, the second plane hit.
I had taken the day off on the 10th, and was on the beach. I was thinking “if this had happened yesterday I would not know anything about it”. I was disconnected from the world on the beach September 10th.

I exercise pretty much every day. I swim, walk, run and do yoga daily. I think I’m in pretty good shape.

Yesterday, i trimmed my hedges and mowed my (front) lawn. It was very difficult. My heart rate was nearly 100, I was sweating and felt strained. I was thinking that I wasn’t in that great shape.

It occurred to me that, yes, I can do these exercises, but when I do exercise that I don’t do every day, I’m just as out of shape as someone who doesn’t exercise at all.

Is this true? I seldom play pickleball, so when I do I find it quite strenuous.

This afternoon I need to mow the back lawn….

Have a great day?

I’m considering retiring my Boox Color Note 4 C

The screen is cracked badly . Back in the old days, when I worked at the airport, I dropped it and it kind of separated and the on/off switch was pressed inside. The screen either cracked when I dropped it or, more likely, when I was re-seating the power switch

The other day I dropped it again and the cracks got much worse.

it still works perfectly okay, 100%. The cracks are invisible most of the time except in the Sun. I can’t blame Boox,

I just started thinking about the glass breaking and becoming a hazard as far as getting cut is concerned.

Maybe the universe is telling me to upgrade to a Boox Color Note 5C with keyboard!!!

Have a great day!

There were a couple nice sunrises yesterday and today.

Above: yesterday’s sun under the cloud.

Todays orange fluffiness .

It seems to be human nature to focus on the negative and worry about the future, but every so often I realize how lucky I am, even in the low parts

I think I was in a depression after my visitors left. Maybe I still am, but I see how good things are, right at this minute. Grateful.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

I finished this book the other day, I read it because I was told to read it. I think you should read it too. It’ll be good for you.

Its about how humans are destroying the place.

This book if full of things we already knew but needed to hear again.
Someday maybe humanity will heed.

Hqve a GREAT day

Silent Nun

There was this lady, she decided she wanted to be a nun. She went down the street to the local nunnery and inquired with the pastor.The pastor said “Yes, you can be a nun, but this is a silent nunnery and you must take a vow of silence.”

Next thing you know, the woman’s a silent nun.

Five years go by, the pastor comes to the woman and says, “Happy 5th anniversary, you get to say two words.””Bed hard.” says the woman.”Okay,” says the pastor, “we can get you a softer mattress.

“Five more years go by..The pastor comes to the woman: “Happy 10th anniversary, you get to say two words.””Food cold” says the woman. “No problem,” says the pastor, “we’ll get the food from the kitchen to the serving line faster”

.Five more years pass. The pastor: “Happy 15th anniversary, you get to say two words.””I quit.” says the woman. “Probably a good thing,” says the pastor, “you’ve done nothing but complain since you’ve been here!”

Happy Friday . The sea this morning was even flatter than yesterday. Good for swimming.

Have a great weekend!

I meant to take a photo but forgot. The water this morning was almost perfectly flat. 2 inch swells 10nfeet apart. Fantastic.

Above is today’s exercise so far

the day is still young.

Things are great!; Can’t complain!

Oh wait, I can complain. Today I have to start paying for my Thursday/Saturday yoga classes. I’m tryin’ to swing a deal…

Yeay! When things are good! I can still complain!

have a great day.

I can’t believe it’s September already.

Every year truly is getting shorter.

super easy crossword. Took 5 minutes

not much to post about today….

have a nice day.

Went diving yesterday and saw the carcass of a giant squid. Would have been over 10 ft long with tentacles and topsail.

Freaky.

I had friends, Vera and Tom, visit last weekend who had not been here since 2025. They left after Hurricane Ivan. Friday we went to an awards ceremony / retirement party aboard that Cayman Aggressor Livaboard Dive boat. Saturday and Sunday we toured the island.

And we ate, ate ate..

Tom came down a week or so ago and was diving and living on the ship till Friday, Vera came down Thursday and stayed in the apartment m They flew home yesterday

It was great having visitors, I love it

Have a great week !
