Who's who?

So, I recently went to a high school graduation and enjoyed the speeches about remembering who we are, and we have our future before us. Great motivating moments for all who attended and perhaps listened.  As we exited the building I noticed a reoccurring theme… who am I. By this, I mean there were mothers who had come to see a child graduate, or aunts and sisters with presents and flowers. Nevertheless, they dressed alike. Not like everyone had the same outfits, but you could see generations, mothers and daughters wearing very similar outfits.

There was one mother/daughter with strapless sundresses, the same cut, the Levis and western shirt duo, even matching jackets could be found.

The question that vexed my mind was who was dressing like whom? Was the daughter mimicking the mother, or the mother mimicking the daughter?

I will never know the answer but it was a never world of creatures imitating creatures.

Technology chain

There will be more to this later, but let me just say how interesting it is to be chained to technology. In the last month, my computer of several years received a virus and was in the shop for 10 days to fix it. Then another virus, even after installing an antivirus program, comes back to the shop, and two days later, it is returned. First time I used it …. Another virus! Will it never stop!!


Therefore, I finally succumbed to the technological demons that have entered my world. I now have a new laptop with some of the old programs I love and use regularly and some newer ones I am trying to master. I am staying up late, getting behind in my classwork, and not answering emails which I am sure is frustrating some people.

The adventure of life continues!!!  

Procrastination

Procrastination: postpone doing something, especially as a regular practice.

I have concluded that some confusion has arisen out of this word. To many it does mean to delay or put something off. Yet to others it is waiting for the muse. A great book by Karl Iglesias “101 Habits of Highly Successful Writers” has a section, which describes the writing practices of these great writers. I must be one of them, as I turn on the computer, get some food, check emails, play a card game, and then wonder why I’m not writing.


So here is the deal from this day forth I will write a few minutes on my latest project before I answer or even attempt to look at emails or any other functions of the computer!!! If one could only understand how hard that is to write. OK I can do this, how about you?
