Dammit.

OK. Deep, introspective piece I wrote Friday disappeared into the abyss when my computer crashed.

So you’ll get this mini-recap instead.

Friday: Went to Target, bought scale. Weight: 115, much more reasonable. Worked out again. Felt happy and much more self-positive, much less obsessive.

Happy hour at the pub, where we, plus TM and SC, debated this: Can absolute morality exist without God? Absolute morality = there is at least one thing that is wrong for everyone, no matter what. Points of discussion: Random killing of bar patrons, notion of morality inherent in natural selection and natural law, evolution, Nazi Germany, orangutan rape, cell phones in schools. The argument came to a draw, to be continued next week, same bat time, same bat channel.

Saturday: Iain and I visited REI to check out boots, tents, new packs, new sleeping bags. He’s definitely getting back to Wyoming this summer. I probably wont’ get to go, because of work and all, but that’s OK.

Grilled chicken for dinner, then a game of cribbage, which I skunked him on.

New addition: My aunt’n’uncle had their fourth baby this weekend, Jacob Curtis, bringing the number of cousins I have to 11, 10 of them boys.

Sigh .. I wish I had saved that brilliant entry from Friday. I finally hashed out all my self-image concerns, figured out all that shit, laid it out. But .. That’s an analog line for you. That’s crapAOL for you. Brilliance deleted in the blink of an eye. At any rate, at least it got into my head, if not into yours.

P.S. Soon-to-be farewell for PhotoDan, as he is packing bags for a short move to Australia. He has managed to escape the clutches of Sandusky, and for this he deserves hearty applause. Wish him well on his voyage down under.
