The Prophet
A link from my friend Steve K: THE PROPHET - Kahlil Gibran—for future reference.

I like this:

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you enter into it take with you your all. Take the slough and the forge and the mallet and the lute, The things you have fashioned in necessity or for delight. For in reverie you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than your failures. And take with you all men: For in adoration you cannot fly higher than their hopes nor humble yourself lower than their despair.

NewsFlashes
Leah and I now have a cat. Formerly named “Leo” and later “Mustang,” we think his new name is “Basilone”—for the exit off the 5 we got him from. We met his former owner and acquired all manner of cat gear. He’s a well mannered, housetrained, spayed, bengal. He was pretty quiet all night. Seems like he’ll be a fun cat.

In other news: My ankle continues to get better! It’s now many shades of purple I really didn’t want my ankle to ever be.

Additionally: I’m way behind on many things.

This is cat and catch-up week!

Now that’s a really interesting use of technology.

Flattering?
Yesterday everyone assumed my injury was racquetball related. It would make a better story for sure.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
One of my favorite internet errors is to get an email where the recipients were, instead of BCC’d, merely CC’d. In this way, one can extract out the domains to see what kinds of websites the folks on the same mailing list have. By the looks of it, this is an interesting San Diego List!
