i am very much looking forward to my vacation… Aaron will care for Bailey and Kaya will care for Oscar. i leave work on solid footing with no real craziness hanging over my head. this year has been terrific – full and exciting; filled with its share of ups and downs. i’ve started to climb on the bike.

i had a lot of trouble sleeping last night. i am apprehensive about my trip. my mind is playing rational games: dreaming up dreadful scenarios and cool solutions. but even if i could switch off my CPU, i’m not sure it would alleviate my fears. the only thing that can will be experience. so i wait, scared and hopeful.

i can’t understand but i’m only meant to grow

i can drift anywhere, swim anywhere.. i know of land, but i can’t see it

i’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie since i saw it advertised earlier in the week. i’ve seen it before but it touches me for reasons i’m not really sure.

i am very close to accomplishing what i’ve wanted to for several years – near perfect separation of content and presentation using TAL, Python, and WebWare without Zope or a separate application server. i’ve been going strong on this since about 7 AM and the fruits of my labor are becoming more apparent as the minutes pass. when i’m complete, nick.org will use a completely different architecture. woo hoo!
