Recent legal news about a photography company which is being FORCED to take pictures at a gay wedding. Why would you even WANT someone opposed to gay marriage to be photographing you? How could they even do a good job?
Tao: Phoenix rising (performance group): Japanese drumming including dance, cymbals, flute, costumes. It was truly special. High energy made me want to go to Japanese drumming camp (if there only was one!) I loved the whole androgyny thing they had going...all part of the tao. White and black, good and evil, feminine and masculine, positive and negative. All things are really their opposite or eventually get back around to that. I loved the women not acting ladylike: dressed in gorgeous floor length white gowns with bustles and slamming the drums with all of their strength. Men with long hair dressed in skirts. Touring from Japsn and passing through Vineland, New Jersey. I thought of about 20 people I should have invited, who would have loved it.
Amish businesses have a 95% success rate and they only have an 8th grade education. What is the secret of their success?

I dread picking up the phone these days
Usually it is a machine, or a salesman, or a butt-dial, or a dead space. I don't really want to exert myself to get it, but then, when I call people, they never answer either. Life is one big game of phone tag.
Spent a goodly number of hours in my own home this afternoon. A rare event, for moi. Enjoyed it, for the most part. I puttered, I read, I listened to NPR, I almost took a nap. Had to leave in the middle to do a couple of errands. Luckily, the neighborhood was pretty quiet. Only the sounds of home maintenance projects were in the air. Well, there were a few echos of distant yapping dogs, but I chose to ignore. I will be taking a walk soon to find out where these dogs live so that I can sic the dog catcher on them.
Thinking about my doctor visit yesterday and pondering whether I should write some online reviews. I have dermatologists figured out....they insist upon chopping you up, then they give you more than one prescription which may hurt more than it helps. I liked the way I got to see the actual doctor and it was nice that she had two people in the room with her, but when I look at the report it is totally confusing and contradictory. I give up on thoughts of obtaining clarification from the snotty office staff. The doctor said to come back in two weeks, but the office staff said she has no availability for two months! This is just plain aggravating! Then she has me applying two different creams, vaseline, AND an $85 saran-wrap kind of thing. How, I would like to ask her, is all of this supposed to work together? Oh, what the heck. I may as well call the dreadful office staff and give them an earful.

Missing my playlist
Only have 29 songs saved on YouTube. Missing my 127 songs that I can no longer access on Playlist.com. Changes, changes....guess you can't ask for too much when stuff is FREE. I'm too frugal to get itunes. Had to put on the headphones to block out sound of woman typing VERY FAST. I looked over to see what school work or other important thing she was accomplishing and it is FACEBOOK. What the hell can she be SAYING?!?!? I am doing useful things such as updating my medications list so I can present it when I go to the doctor on Thursday.
Doing unnecessary shopping errands today. Like SPENDING money to SAVE money. I know it doesn't make any sense, but at least I am trying to get stuff I NEED and stuff that is on SALE.
Did accomplish my daily exercise goal at least....got through aqua aerobics just as it started to rain. Then stopped by a farmer's market and had my first PEACH. YUM! Stopped in to the South Vineland post office and found a wonderful variety of stamps and a man who didn't seem to mind showing them to me. I had almost given up on brick and mortar post offices to shop for stamps.

Forgotten
This is the best I can do copying the photo that I took this morning on my Sprint LG Rumor phone. I stopped to take another photo and spotted this mailbox full of old moldy mail. Sad....
Seems like the past few days I have spent TWO hours a day doing errands. Every day I am buying gas. Today I went to my arthritis exercise class at 8 AM, went to the bank, then had to drive ALL THE WAY across Vineland to get to the Grapevine office so I could get "hard" copies of the paper where an article about my commune in the seventies is starting to run, then got the gas (good price of $3.27), then took pictures and on to Bridgeton to pick up my emergency supply of Ambien. Found out that you can PAY for drugs any time you want. It is just the INSURANCE that says you can't have it yet.
Photo series I would like to make...mailboxes, laundry, trees. I really need to get a new camera. My phone is unsatisfactory. Everything is too far away and dark. I could try my old SLR and see if they still make FILM.
