I ordered a new lap top and am shopping for a new phone. Boots should be in the mail. My bike got a new wheel and chain and my car got a 40,000 mile check-up. I paid back the money I borrowed from my son, a plane ticket to SF for the other, paid bar dues and car insurance. (Have I given to Havurah yet?)

The other thing I think I want with my money windfall is a ventless indoor biofuel fireplace and some Liberty of London from Target.

Not trying to record everything I buy is a relief. On my livejournal, I'm trying to keep track of movies I see in a year. It is sad that there are really no books to keep track of. I read the comic House of M.

New month here. In the first cycle of the moon in this tiger year a couple of old tigers looked me up. Being one year younger than tigers, I had a lot of them around growing up.

There were a couple of pig guys on Craigslist, which I rarely visit. I've thought about responding to their ads, but worry that I'd just be using them for my own selfish purposes. Maybe men would be a better thing to give up for the rest of lent.

My schedule for spring is getting all messed up.

I like that Obama is going to meet the Dalai Lama during the Olympics.

Shabbat Shalom

The morning walk is reliably good.

I should do what I want to be.

We got here already, despite ourselves,

Arriving as we flee.

I enjoyed the Noah's bagel dog this morning. The Fred Meyer donuts weren't very good, but I liked eating them. The dill pickle sunflower seeds, regular pumpkin seeds and snickerdoodle chunks are all tasty.

I should file my tax return early this year and pay some of my bills.
