Happy Froday!
OK now, Maryland Area Hobbit Posse,
I wanna make sure I get my ticket for the
FotR EE on Tuesday, June 14th at 7 pm
by this Monday. I think L. is going to join me. The ticket prices seem to have been standardized at all the theaters at $12.50 per show including the Fandango charge. Who is with me? It's showing in a number of theaters in the area. My suggestion is the Snowden Square Theater in Columbia, MD because Columbia is central for DC and Baltimore peeps, and that theater is lots easier to park at and get close to the theater than the one at Columbia Mall that is also showing the EE's. If you have a preference for another theater in the area please say so now.
Who else also wants to get their tickets for
TTT EE Tuesday 21st at 7 pm
RotK EE Tuesday 28th at 7 pm
Let's see if we can get that all settled in this thread.
Also it's mountain laurel blooming time:
This is an early blooming one last week here at Greenbelt Lake. More are blooming this year around the lake than I've seen before. But the really spectacular place to see mountain laurels bloom is down at Calvert Cliffs State Park in southern MD, which is just covered in them. They should be just about peaking now, and I'm planning to drive down there sometime this coming week between tomorrow and Memorial Day. Is anyone interested in coming with me (and sharing in gas expenses if you can), and we could decide on which day would be good? Cali and I went on this weekend last year and it was gorgeous, and it should be even prettier this year. What say you?

I think of you often and send good thoughts your way. Things are even more difficult than usual at work these days....but I am fortunate to have work, eh! And for you??? how are you getting on?

Pretty well, and just wonderfully on nice May days like today when I can get my walk in around the lake and spot baltimore orioles in the trees. As long as I keep the worrying at bay, it's a privilege to be unemployed this time of year. I had to decline going to a favorite prof's retirement party up in NJ today due to gas prices, but I'm at peace with the trade-off and happy to be here. And I'm glad to be drawing again, even if I'm only getting to do one sketch a week. I'm trying to train myself to get used to how few hours there is in a day and accept it. (-:

I don't know about you, but age has snuck up on me stealthily ...things i could easily do ten years ago are becoming beyond me. Far more distressing than the physical limits (and how long it takes me, comparatively, to do tasks) are the mental ones, especially the artistic ones. So I can very much understand the idea that a day is a liquid sort of a thing, and it contains, in this moment, what is appropriate unto me, along with all the especial constraints (or non-constraints) that apply to me in the here-and-now.
I've been unemployed for long stretches of time in the past, so I think I can imagine what you're going through. Although the down time is nice in so many ways, it has its own little strangenesses. I find myself accomplishing less, with more time, than if I am stressed from the 'I've no time" of being in full-time harness. And the writing simply goes away from me in times of certain stresses. (and oddly, appears strongly in other sorts of stressful situations).
I hope that you can manage to get a lot of personal mileage out of this quiet time. May it be a place of calm, of learning, of doing, of being and loving. Sometimes, in the most turned-down on places, we find ourselves in the most victorious way.
with love,
jan
