Running around

My bifocals are ready.  I go pick them up tomorrow.  My video is ready.  I’m too tired to figure out how to upload it to Youtube.  The cheque from the house proceeds came through – but there is a snag and a catch, as always, which I am not at liberty to talk about, except that everything is fine but for the delay.  Had dinner with Katie K (the moussaka was unbelievably good, I never had better) and did a brief shop afterwards as I have to cook something for the church supper tomorrow.

Like I said, a lot of running around.

From Cory Doctorow’s Boing Boing Post today.

About sums it up…

For my part, I’m a second-generation atheist. I think that our experience of the numinous is both undeniable and entirely biological: the state of spiritual peace is the result of tickling some evolved center of our brain, a bit of neurology that conferred a survival advantage on our ancestors whose numinous hallucinations of a higher order in the universe drove them to catch more antelopes, eat better, and have more babies. I have no need of, nor interest in a supernatural god or a supernatural universe.

I came to consciousness at 7:58 this morning.  I have had the world’s fastest shower and now need to dress and run like the hammers down the hill.  Thank goodness I’m so close to work.  I may have to start setting my alarm again!  On the other hand I am NOT unhappy that I got what appears to be about 9 hours of sleep, despite current woes and issues I may not discuss in a public forum.  Yay sleep.
