Chair with flamingos.

So I see Malida filled in the interval between posts. She's in Thailand for a few weeks visiting her mom. I had to stay home because of school and work. I wish I was there too. She has the iPad, and I guess it is tuned to Zyzyly instead of Minkybyte. Anyway, it's nice to see her make an entry. she's bee practicing her writing skills and just finished an ESL class on writing. I can see a difference.

I love reading the stories she writes for school. The instructor gives her a picture, and she has to write a story about it. She's very creative and has an interesting imagination. Hopefully she will continue to write here.

I am thinking this might be the last picture with this chair. I went to Ikea last weekend and bought a different chair, and now the new chair is in the back of my car. This chair is now in my office, with a stack of research articles sitting on it.

I have a few days off and am going to drive out to the east side of the Sierras and take a few pictures. It's been a long time since I've done that. The route I will be tracing is the same route I took back in 2005 as I was trying to decide what to do with myself. I went back to my old journal to see what I was thinking about, and found this from June 5, 1995:

empty chair

A week later I had quit my job and had this to say: "I have no idea where I am going, but one thing is sure--wherever I go, I'm gonna be there, and I need to learn to live with me."

I was at first confused then figured out that Malida was posting. I really enjoyed what she wrote.

We've never met in person, but I consider you an old friend. Keep on posting. I want to see the chairs, and read what Malida posts, and your continued experiences. Wherever you go, I want to tag along.

That's an awesome quote from your former self!

Chairs are a theme for you?

I love the flamingos with the chair. They have such character!

I miss your presence here. Of course, I understand because I'm in the same position, as you know.

As for Thailand, every time my mom goes to visit my family there without us, I feel sad that I'm missing it. While this has been going on for years, I still feel a tinge of envy because I can't get away.

I hope you enjoy your journey to the East Sierras. I can't wait to see...I miss that place too.

Finding your old writing--isn't it a bit like watching over your old self's shoulder, an angel from the future?

The beautiful grass in the top photo is like rooted sparkles.

Enjoy your eastern sierra trip. North of Mono Lake was green last week, south is sere and dry.
