Catching up on phone with Brody.

Secret City. It really is my favorite NYC thing right now.

Hanging with Aimee.

Finished digitizing Bob’s tapes and he took me to dinner.

The gym this morning.

Ready for out of town trip this weekend.

Mad Men was fantastic last night!

Train trouble last night. I just rolled with it instead of getting all angry about it. It took me forever to get home, but I successfully decided to enjoy all the extra walking.

Someone shared in a meeting the other night about how he dedicates each day to the spirit of service and love. He tries to make each decision during the day based on that choice. Pretty interesting. Someone in that same meeting said something about how we arrive and leave the planet completely empty, so there is no reason to try to take while we are here. We are here to give. Both of those concepts have really stuck with me.

One of my Saturday monsters drew a picture for me. It’s Garfield hanging from a thumbtack stuck in the collar of his shirt with the caption, “Hang In There.” That made my morning.

I saw Victoria Libertore’s No Need For Seduction last night. Fascinating and gripping storytelling done in a simple way. So many thoughts about relationships and how we do or do not allow ourselves to be loved. This will stick with me for a while.

I took a LONG nap with Tigger yesterday.

Quesadillas.

Finished writing my 8th Step this morning.

I usually have the ability to say “I was wrong” which means my list of ammends is pretty short.

Running in the park with Catherine this morning.

I get my morning teaching done so early on Thursdays. Love it.

Met with a social media coach yesterday and we talked about this HUGE goal I have set for myself and my work and how I am going to make it happen. I am very excited.

Dun-well doughnuts. Sincerely the best doughnuts ever AND they happen to be vegan. I had a pear spice doughnut yesterday.

My afternoon lessons were pretty solid.

Last lesson of the day is with a girl who’s mother I know from the program. I was planning on just going home and skipping a meeting, but she encouraged me to go to a meeting with her. It turned out to be really great and I was glad I went.

I got caught up on Mad Men. It’s so good.

Tigger was sick yesterday and I was super worried but I got him to the vet and all is well. Pshew!

Had a really fun lesson with a normally disinterested kid.

Dinner at Brooklyn Commune with James, Catherine and Dan. Nice to all be together again.

I had another outstanding run yesterday morning. My goal for last week was to make the small loop at Prospect Park with no walking. Achieved!

Showing James around Brooklyn yesterday with Catherine and Dan.

We stumbled onto a filming of Spider-Man, a cool adventure for a somewhat sad day.

We had dinner at the outstanding Noodle Pudding where they are always happy to veganize their risotto.

We scattered Mom’s ashes into the river near the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. Sad and beautiful and together. She always loved the water, so it was so moving to see her disappear as the gentle waves embraced her.

Grateful to move forward and remember.

Last night was the Ableton Live Advanced Users Meet-Up. Really a cool event. It was kinda long, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave. People demonstrating everything from sending MIDI information using the positioning of their iPhones to using a wii controller to triggering graphics with sound. SO COOL and lots of nice people there, too.

Lunch and lots of catch up time with Cynthia.

Some of the kids I teach are beyond hilarious.

I had time for a quick un-tuna melt at Terri before the meet up last night.

I don’t have to teach the Saturday monsters tomorrow.

My brother arrives today.

Lots of texting with Laura!
