I love all the mid century furniture at this Catholic college I'm visiting in Leavenworth, KA. Also the pristine Pyrex mixing bowls that are going for a song at the antique mall down the way. Also the nuns doing the two-step and the polka at the Jubilee dinner last night. (My cousin is the mother superior here and is celebrating her 50th anniversary married to God.) I also love the fireflies I saw last night and the ground hog (gopher?) that just lumbered by the window of the dorm where I'm staying.
today I love Louis C.K. my groin muscle healing it's not hot yet all the undergrads are gone and the town feels like a normal town where people live fireflies also! reading Plato at the coffee shop (poor Socrates) dark stout beer GAME OF THRONES (books)
Ha ha, I didn't even "get" to take that class. Instead I "got" to take Basic Inquiry, where we "inquired" about a bunch of 100% unrelated random things. Like, writings by Galileo, Letters of a Javanese Princess, some Tchaikovsky string quartet piece (still the only Tchaikovsky I own), and ... I forget the rest. How random is that? Super random.
Also, tried to find the syllabus for that class (not possible) and check out this Ell See website from 1996! Can you imagine an actual institution of higher learning presenting itself this way? Only at the time it probably looked pretty boss.
Whoa, that link did not work. Try pasting this into your address bar:
The "Navigator" effect Remember when Windows PCs came with... what was it, "Windows Navigator?" They were using a virtual steamship reality to help new computer users understand how to use their computer. You would go into Windows Navigator. All your programs would be in a weird steam ship, or a house, or soemthing like that... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Josie's riding her bike. She had a break-through Wednesday, with more proficiency coming yesterday. Today we might ride over to the rose garden in Peninsula Park. Looking forward to loving that.

My proposal for why the LC site looked like that.
All prestigious software used a tradewinds metaphor
