			why is it all so hard? I did a workout, but skipped the abs. Why are abs so hard? Dad and I went to Audibel where he had more hearing tests and ordered hearing aids. To celebrate ordering hearing aids, we go to Mother's Cafe. Chips, hot sauce, garden salad with cheese and bleu cheese. Dad has enchiladas. Make a 'to do' list. Go to Liberty Bank and buy a CD. Scan some very old slides. Work on cleaning up e-mail; it sure takes me back. Setting up links I'd intended for a long time to add to my links page. (I had emails from myself or others to remind me.) SuRu and I walk in the hood after 'work.' (Hers, not mine.) Cheese, chips, Cherry Coke. Water. Why's it all so hard? Define progress please. Still, don't think I'm making any.

	days of old "On several occasions I have actually read parts of my diary aloud to someone. But too much 'publicity' is destructive to a diary, because the diarist begins, unconsciously perhaps, to leave out, to tone down, to pep up, to falsify experience, and the reason for the undertaking becomes buried beneath posings." Gail Godwin, A Diarist on Diarists
	JUST TYPING Looking back. To that kid. Knowing what went on. Behind that kid's Cocked head And winking eye.
