Today is an 'off' day...

Today is an 'off' day and other than going for a walk (and year-end accounts) not much has happened.

I had a good chat with my sister in Whitehorse yesterday and that has got me thinking. We miss family more as we get older. I used to say 'There will be time later', but that phrase is coming around - this being later.

Somehow we will reconnect. Perhaps this summer.

We've had Jamila's friends Gwen & Kimia from Zambia year of service, to visit. Along with Joe, Jon and Josh in this picture. It was good fun+++.

Well it's 2008 already. I remember when everyone was worried about computers changing from 1999 to 2000. It was called Y2K. It was a big fuss, but no one seemed to mention that it was only a problem for Microsoft PCs as Apple had an internal dating system that didn't need to be patched. It was a problem of human creation - ah then, now all is well.

It's December already. Funny weather...

It's December already. Funny weather turned warm today 8C above and raining.

I was at coffee early this morning and between Christmas songs was Madonna singing 'I'm a material girl in a material world'. It seemed so juxtaposition to the spirituality in Christmas. Having said that, several of the doctors and nurses at work complaining this week about how crazy all this buying of presents was and how stressed out they were.

Well I guess - Times they are a'changing.

Quiet saturday afternoon. Nahed's...

Quiet saturday afternoon. Nahed's sleeping on the couch and I'm browsing Flickr with (fake) coffee and apple pie. We have a new stereo, one that will play off her iPod, playing a collection of soft and violin music. I look at Munir's weather 31-32 degrees every day and wonder how bored he must be. Here we are so happy to be in the +'s (+6 today). This is a good week, I am happy.

A new slide, but colored differently. What do you thing? Is it too much variation.
Can you see the intended comparison from Maslow to my model?
Love to have your comments.
