#36 General Observation (9 Oct 2008)

Actually, I think LIFE is a therapy item. I gave my copy of that neat
book, The Heart of The Buddha, to your brother. He has been pretty

silent about it so far. G

Write to yourself via email, and save in a file.
You can write what you wish you were reading in a good book.
Ultimately, it will be your book, that someone else will enjoy reading.

I did this with my paintings. Its the source of the creative itch,  
just making something
you cannot find in reality. Good stuff.

Hi George,
There was a work  development, my advising colleague got hired for
another post, a promotion. It sent a bit of a shockwave through the
office of 8 employees. I feel like the "older guy" but I am still
valuable to my advisees. One reason I'm taking the RTF class is to
provide myself a bit of relief from the routine.

>    Prepare and qualify yourself now for your
      next job. Just ease into it, one day at a time.
      Figure that your present job will be changed
      or eliminated as every student will have
      a computer with a web cam so all these
      meetings can take place in virtual not real
      space.

>I haven't spoken to your brother in awhile.
>        He rarely writes me. Just a few word
          sentences. I hope he is reading that
          Buddha book that I loaned him. Open up
          his being a bit.


Hi George,
I have been doing more writing of late-- and your suggestions are
appreciated! You always relate to me as a writer and I have to say
thanks!

 I mostly relate to you as a bright guy. Too
      few of these around.

Have a good evening George. I hear there are fires a bit north of LA.
I assume that's not close to you-- but my guess is that it's hot and
windy there.  It's hot here.

Cold in the ams here. 54 right now. Like
    San Francisco weather.

Have you been enjoying the election circus? I think everybody is very
nervous about the stock market and the economy-- some major
shenanigans going on.

      Just like 1929 depression: people living
      beyond their means ( i.e. cash level) taking
      more debt than they can pay for, planning to
      just sell and pass the unpaid debt to someone
      else. Eventually someone is left holding
      this iron filled bag, and it just crashes them
      down. Credit frozen now. In my neighborhood
      lots of dirt tilled vacant lots where older
      buildings scrapped, and plans made to
      create new apartment buildings and small
      business buildings, all stopped as loans to
      get them started are frozen and unavailable.

See-you,  
John


I think not unless you and I get webcams
                    for our computers. The new ones
                    all come with this gadget. It allows
                    people to have sex together on the
                    net without actually touching or
                    getting diseased or pregnant. Could
                    be a good thing.
