Friday June 17, 2005 - Year 3, Day 89 cool musing
+10C, cool, overcast, high humidity . . . sprinkling . . . heavy rain predicted
. . .
early walk & jog through wet grass, no critters sighted - uneventful compared with last night when we were checking out Fish Creek [level nearly down to normal] when my cell phone rang; a welcome call from MW & great to catch up – the call coming just as Gusta & I were having our close encounter of a coyote kind . . . to her just another large dog barking with a peculiar howl – we opted to walk on for a while – on the return trip with rock in pocket & large stick in hand there was no coyote to be seen
. . .
sometimes . . especially when weather is gloomy, it is easy to get down & its seems even more gloomy when gripping serious stuff, talking with or writing to people coping with tragic ‘in their face’ issues . . . where there is no bright side & surely a challenge to offer comfort
. . .
if you have someone in your life struggling like that – as I do – maybe they need a call, need someone to listen to them – even if it is only silence on the phone at times; talk may be cheap, but listening is priceless
. . .
sometimes we all need a ‘kick into another gear’ moment – a jolt of joy, a spark or sizzle, a ‘hey, that’s cool’ moment
. . .
what’s cool ?
. . .
walking into a function as I did last night & having someone say, ‘hey, I don’t get your musings anymore . . can you fix that ? . . . that’s cool
. . .
sending off a note requesting some time from a CEO of a huge company I’ve never met – getting a reply telling me he has no time in the next 10 days put offering help from his people & pointing me in some right directions . . . that’s cool
. . .
finding a website like http://www.imaginationcubed.com . . . that’s very cool !
. . .
what’s cool for you ?
. . .
this morning, like most lately, has become one of intensified routine; in part because I function best with routine especially in the morning but also it seems to be the best for Gusta – not that I presume to possess skills in behaviour modification, but it seems to be having a genuine impact on her proven by lots of tail wagging; she doesn’t mind being kenneled after her walk [she dries off while I read papers] if she can come sleep at my feet while I write & publish musings – very cool !
. . .
I attended a great Mexican theme party last night; thanks JR & RK . . your firm put on a great show as always . . . it seems it’s party season . . . JS is hosting one tonight . . . singles only, 50/50 ratio . . .sounds like an interesting place to be no a rainy Friday night ! – very very cool
. . .
this will be a weekend of writing & meeting some new folks . . . the opportunity to create new things, new experiences, new relationships is endless – way cool !

so far [though it is down this morning ---argghhh!!---- it would appear that the blog-city site will be the most effective long term solution for musing publication though it will take quite a while to get everyone’s address entered; until your address is added to that list you will continue to receive it from musing@maxcomm.ca
