I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

The Ideas of March ... stolen from Robert.

So we're all just a bunch of loopers like Jack and Diane ... clueless but doing the best that we can.

But... what happens when the loop wobbles or moves on or just moves or just changes? I'm sure some of us loopers try to re-establish the old routines while others invest in embracing new loops. But if we must start all over again (war, accidents, amnesia, aphasia) where and how do we adjust?

The truth is that humanity is uber-flexible. Another, not as heart-warming truth, is that many if not most individuals are not.

So... the last 100 years have brought about many changes, yet we humans remain human. Many traditional routines (loops) are still followed, many new routines have been established. Not everything survives.

It is my opinion that part of the cultural friction comes about between those who are fearful of either new or old paradigms. Old loops, new loops, fruit loops. We're all in the same cereal bowl. Many of us are not happy about that.

And some out of fear take comfort in the Great Spoon ending all loops.


Well... you'll have to read his entry "The Ideas of MarchOpen in new Window. and the article he links.

At least I hope I'm more hopeful than thinking that we are all trapped in a semi-conscience cluster-f***.

42 calm degrees at 10:25 p.m. Old Time (add your own hour) so I hope I can get something done before I nod off. Laters.

Up veddy late working on 7 of 8 entries for JI. It's post-noon? 46 on a beautiful day.

I took the on-line Enneagram test Steph mentioned:

What's funny? I know there is no right or wrong answer but I ask myself twice whether my answer is true to me. I've taken this before (Meyer-Briggs as well) and as wobbly as I feel always end up with the same results.

Always a type 4 Creative (which is called a Romantic elsewhere). My 'wing' would be a '5'.

I want to be a 7! I'm definitely not an 8.

M-B pegs me as ENFP no matter how withdrawn I am. I do share characteristics of INFP. Who do I almost always get along with? INTJ. I draw them out, like moths to the flame. *Laugh*


I'm sitting inside in the sunshine. Why? I have writing to finish.

45 degrees at 9:30. I will leave the window open a crack.

I did not go out today, choosing to write instead. I did eat though... chicken mustard salad and boneless pork ribs soaked (they were tough) baked in vinagrette. Both turned out very good.

I finished my writing task. Much gnashing of teeth but I finished. I can now go gnaw on something else.

PROMPT March 15th

What’s your favorite board game or card game to play with friends?

*Heart* *Heartbl* *Heart* *Heartbl* *Heart* *Heartbl* *Heart* *Heartbl* *Heart* *Heartbl*


Canasta! But I will bury you so deep you'll never get out of the hole! Red 3s, Black 3s, Deuces and Jokers wild. It's a rummy game like conquian and gin. Rummy is simple to play but each game and opponent is different and since there's a bit of luck involved the better player doesn't always win... but I will, I will, rock you.

I really liked playing with good friends because... I'd win... and then we'd play again. *Smirk2*

I used to have Wednesday night parties. Spoons were good for getting people going. As was the trading game Pit (can be very loud and rowdy). The key to parties? Always have food... lots of it. I never served alcohol so that had to be made clear. There were always some extra-friendly people invited to welcome newcomers.

Board games? Loved Clue. Hated Monopoly. Sorry! is simply Parcheesi *HeartO*. Many board games have limits to how many can play though.
