spending time Mondays have a certain tension. Then you realize that, of course, you can do the job. It's just what you do. You get in the rhythm. You can do it or you can fake it. You're back on course. I was thinking a lot today about how we try to predict the future. I've been rereading articles about time in an old Forbes supplement magazine (ASAP). And I've also been thinking about all the choices for spending our time. Do we read or watch TV? Try both at once? If we do some work from the office, what do we pick to work on? If I play with my computer and photographic toys, what exactly do I do? And, of course, if you are running Bill Gates' OS verions...how many times do you have to boot and how long does it take? I have a free lunch for the meeting I'm in. I don't accomplish much today. But I do some good thinking. Flesh out some ideas. Yeah, right. Mom and Dad are talking about going to Denver. You can see them twitching to get away. I'm instructed to water the yard, the plants, keep up with the mail. I give Dad some Dick Francis books on tapes to listen to on the trip and ask if there is anything else that they need for their trip. The parents leave a message in the morning: 'we are heading out.' I stop by their house after work and get the mail and check things. I spend some time convincing myself that I am really stupid about WEB pages and all the little ins and outs of it. When I develop anything new, I'm always made all too aware of this. Occasionally sleep eludes me. This will be one of those nights. |
