Sharing life experiences with my kids
Sometimes I have something I love and I can’t wait to share with the kids. Most of the time they are indifferent to what I want to share. This wrecks the whole thing for me. But sometimes, sometimes they love it too. That is one of the most wonderfull experiences a parent can have. Tonight I got to share The Princess Bride with Wacko and Dot. Even with a thousand questions it was great. After it was over Wacko said “that was great.” My thoughts exactly. Wacko laughed at all the funniest parts (well the ones he understood). He even used the funny voice and said “marriage,” and we all laughed again. He was excited and and jumped up when the eel tried to bite Buttercup and again when he realized who the six fingered man was. Towards the end Dot asked if we could get the book so I could read it to her too like the grandpa was reading to the little boy. Dot said her favorite part was the sword fights and Wacko said his favorite part was when the guy said “my name is Indigo Montoya you killed my father prepare to die.” Well I need to go. But I’m going to hold on to this moment because it will be a long time before I get this again. My only hope is that I can share this experience again with Yacko when we watch Stand By Me.

Kids and circuits
Currently re-reading RAW’s Prometheus Rising and thinking again about the 8-circuit model of consciousness. That sounds all intellectual and stuff, but actually I’m just finding an excuse to babble about my kids, so think twice before you click the link.

Here is our new Kitty Arya Autumn. She’s adorable! She’s the color of autumn leaves. She’s a good kitty, she hasn’t bitten or scratched at any of us since we got her. She does intimdate our other kitty, Nymeria Dora, even though Arya is smaller and technically came into Nymeria’s territory. They are getting along well now after the first couple days. They found activities they enjoy together such as chasing each other all over the house, especailly right at bedtime or at 6am. I guess that’s preferable to hissing and growling at each other, we get enough of that from Yacko and Wacko. Come to think of it when they aren’t hissing and growling at each other they are chasing each other all over the house. At least the cats don’t leave messes in every room when they play.
