Free Food Madness
I'm a sinner, eating another free meal like there was no 2morrow. And now I have 2 enter the calories on my iphone. It will collapse under its own weight. (I just entered the meal... was only 388 over for the week... and I have Sunday for redemption.)
ERROR: see drawing for 11/15... not yet done.

Shark Eatin' Fish
I saw some kid's drawings and I was so jealous, & then my grandson drew a shark eatin' a fish and I gave up art making (for a few hours).
Good News, Bad News
I made it home with most of my walking route recorded on the map on my iphone. But I couldn't remember how to do a screenshot... and when I figured it out I had lost the map.
Tomorrow is another day.
The .lbs from the hefty bbq went away... now it is a matter of one day at a time.
Or one breathe.

Looks Like Someone Sat on his Head
No Texas BBQs today... but just a short walk to the fridge. I ended up 40 calories below my goal... which was much better than yesterday. Yea!

Calories
So today I splurged and got a spiffy distance app for my iphone ($2.99). It even does a map of your walk... with 4 variations. Unfortunately I messed with my 128 calorie walk before I had a chance to download it for my blog. But tomorrow, I promise, I'll give you a visual.
Tonight going to have a big dinner... so I was super good all day. Salad for lunch. 10 almonds for a snack. Etc.
In the meantime, I've been thinking about an article, "Do Libertarians Believe their own Hype?" (http://tinyurl.com/ydm66fl) and disagreeing with the author believing that they do. Let me know what you think.

My Walking Neighbor
asked how I can be both in the moment, and thinking about the moment. Thinking about the moment in the moment does seem to be a contradiction, almost as if thinking is outside of the life game. So "I think therefore I am" might be "I think therefore (for the moment) I am not."

Variation 4 of Single Head
She asked how she could read my pieces without a quote. When I hear questions like that, my impulse is to never "illustrate" another quote because I want my pictures to speak for themselves. Then I think of what Robert Frost said when asked what one of his poems said, "do you want me to tell you in other and worse language?"

Woman Crossing Street
Yesterday at a stop sign I watched a woman walk across the street. I saw the dance between the street and the woman as they separated and then came back together. And yet I was surprised that I couldn't sense any weight to her.
We don't see weight. We don't see anything beyond what is there. Then we start adding what we know and we are suddenly not seeing anymore, but caught in our preconceptions.
