Well I didn't get very far with the theory statements. I guess I have developed a habit of chopping weeds every day. Its like I just feel drawn to that activity. Why?
For a reward I worked a little while on the ocean beach meditation path. That was fun. Now I better get to work on that theory!Ollannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751703.post-1085346922949554272004-05-23T14:13:00.000-07:002004-05-23T14:15:22.950-07:00Sunday Afternoon

Just had to stop because someone brought their dog by for us to look at (except I am the only one here today). The dog had a cute face and a quiet manner but her poor left front leg was hanging out to the side. Probably broken. So its owner is going to try to get an xray.
Still it got me moving.
One sad thing happened yesterday. A little bird fell from its nest on our Ollannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751703.post-1085245428747797972004-05-22T09:54:00.000-07:002004-05-22T10:03:48.746-07:00Could be Another Beautiful Day
We have a sunny day out there and here I am sitting inside my little upstairs cool and dark alcove on my very hard chair . . . waiting to wake up, waiting to warm up. Makes me feel reptilian as I wait for the aspirin to kick in so I can move around a little bit better.

Then I crossed them off. I am torn between wanting some kind of badge to wear on my forehead that proclaims my degree and the Ollannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751703.post-1076243837424546532004-02-08T04:30:00.000-08:002004-02-08T04:39:53.263-08:00Web Copy Writing
I have been reading up on writing web copy tonight. I looked at June Kaminski's web site on writing copy and realized that my writing is too didactic by far. I am glad I saw this because I understand now that I need to sharpen up my writing and make it more interesting.
I am impressed that you really need to understand your purpose when you write web copy. And that you reallyOllannanoreply@blogger.com
