O.o;

Two things lead to the demise of my weekend. I’m very big on the causality of events. Tracing decisions a few pages back, like a “Choose your own adventure” book. Oh, if I had run from the dragon on page 86 I would have found the princess in Ankh-Morpork. Then if I had drank the potion over on 114. I would have found the gold on page 32.

James and I gathered the stuff required to put a 3″ lift in da’Jeep. We picked up the compressor from Sean, bought new U bolts from AutoZone, and parked the Jeep inside the garage. We had all the right tools – or at least enough options to make anything work. Including cutting and burning one of the rear leaf bushings out.

Christine was coming back from Snow Carolina on Sunday. The poor thing has a cold. She did her UNC interviews with a frog voice and a runny nose. I know she was tired of traveling after being delayed on Thursday and having it snow on Friday.

James had tried his best to determine what parts he needed for the kit. Someone had told him with confidence that he didn’t need shocks. We needed shocks. You always find out this information on a Sunday after everything is closed. He may have to special order them anyway.

Christine called me from Logan. Her ride had not shown up for an hour. Several calls to the girl that was supposed to pick her up yielded no results. At 2:00 I headed out to Boston from Bedford, NH. 115 miles later we were back where we started from.

If you want to run from the dragon, turn to page 102.
If you want to attempt to slay the dragon, turn to page 35.

I’m not a real proponent of astrology. A system of symbols and logic developed when we only knew about 7 planets. Believing in it today is like believing in the great turtle that carries the Earth on it’s back. It’s fun to wonder, but with it’s vague predictions of the past, present, and future – one has to realize that it’s more of a window to ourselves, and our desires, then the actual prediction of events in our lives.

So, am I stubborn? Yes. Does the prediction that, I will be a strong group leader, always faithful, and passionate about my work, hold true? I would like to think so. Do I think that spelling my name with a K makes me unique? Yes. So, if I think these things – Am I changing conformity with will? Is this my own will or the written book of the universe?
