wood.web.work
starting another computer job - kindof re-entering the tech.work.place...
i've been doing cabinets and woodwork for the past 2 years, off & on, and i love it. working with my hands (but not on a keyboard) has been one of the most rewarding things i've ever done. i hope it's not actually ending, but is just being suspended until a better time.
there doesn't seem to be anything better than finishing a box, and it is simply what it is. you can sit down and drink a beer and think "yea". quite a bit different than completing a coding project and saying "done" (never with a capital D) - becuz the code is never finished, never actually complete, never Done. that has bothered me for the past 10 years or so...
and for some reason, nobody thanks you for the code. ever.
when you deliver a box, or a table, someone might say "that's beautiful", and they smile.
totally different.

havasupai dogs
this is on the way up from havasupai.
there was a group of 3 dogs that accompanied us, and probly did that trail 3 or 4 times, everyday. they didn't beg at all, just hung out with us. at the top i gave them all my sandwiches and told them thanks... this one came up to say hi during a snack break.
notice the big puddle? this particular weekend a hurricane had come up the baja, and dumped a ton of rain on the canyon, missing phoenix completely. it was the best weekend of hiking i've had in a really long time. all the trails had washed out, and waterfalls were cascading off of everything. it was fantastic.

yoga beat
Yoga Beat
- by tee
yoga beat, take a seat,
let’s build up some yoga heat.
yoga mind, yoga heart,
take a breath, we’re gonna start.
yoga thing, chant & sing,
let’s hear your Om, just like Sting.
yoga girl, Madonna’s one,
get in the flow, salute the Sun.
yoga heart, yoga soul,
feel the burn, we’re on a roll.
yoga nut, yea – so what?
gotta get a yoga butt.
yoga cat, take it off the mat,
show us where your soul is at.
