Wireless

Last night I e-mailed our school's tech guru to see if I would be able to use my computer at today's morning (8 to 11:30) meeting (lecture). She informed me the building had a long and complex password that I would need. I decided to take my computer and hope someone would share the password. My seat (last row) was perfect (thanks J). People around me were online, so I figured it would be easy to use the wireless network. After asking two people in the back row adjacent to me, I still didn't have the password (it's on their computer... they didn't know it), so I decided to ask someone in the office. The first two people in the office didn't know. The next two people in the office didn't know. Finally I received the name of two people (in the auditorium) who would know. Since I didn't know either of these two people, it wasn't helpful.

I needed someone to help. The secretary asked the school principal if he knew where they were, and the three of us proceeded to the auditorium to find the keeper of the password. To my amazement the principal took me directly to the keeper, smiled, and told me to have a good day! My principal would have been irritated that I planned on using my computer during the lecture instead of taking notes or something. Next the keeper followed me to my seat in the back with his jumpdrive (password), I was online!

I probably sit better and pay more attention when I can browse the internet and mess around (right J?). Life was good until my battery went dead...

Gratitudes:
1) the back row
2) LA colleagues-- good ideas and conversation
3) Apple Store

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
