I seem to be a slow starter. I think about the things I've done that I Really Wanted To and they all took time to work up to them. Time of false starts over and over. And the things that I missed because I procrastinated were the things that I let GET to me because I condemned myself for being a slow starter. So, now that I admit it, I can look at it, how it functions, why it helps me, how to use it to my best advantage instead of fighting the parts that I don't understand.... that seem to be standing in the way.

And that seems to be a metaprocess.

p.s.

And my book will say, this is a love letter to everyone who understands it.

You've heard that saying, 'the lights are on but no one is home'? That's funny, right? It is describing dumb, it's funny.
Creepy is exactly the opposite 'the lights are not on, but WE'RE home.' Monsters, madmen, geniuses, we're all alike.

Now We Know.

If a live mouse actually runs through the house, the longer it stays, the greater mounts the chance that the woman will squeal and jump up on things.

Footnote: I have been the affectionate owner of rats and snakes. I chase frogs, fireflies, cats, lizards and chickens. I have never met a strange dog, although some of them have been known to meet a strange me. I like mice. I squealed ... like .... a girl. ick.

Rule of thumb (Whose thumb?)

Never take longer going somewhere than you're going to spend there.

Of course, this only applies if the trip is about what happens while you're there. It does not, of course, count for journeys you take in order to go on a journey.

I mention this, because we're about to drive two hours in order to walk three.
