dalthauser * Now that I'm walking I have to get up an hour early to get it in and stay on schedule. On days I work OT I am walking in the dark. My neighborhood is not in the city limits, so there is little street lighting. I wonder if I should carry pepper spray or something. It's a safe neighborhood, I just feel intimidated by the darkness.
* Today's walking Podcast: Zencast # 170: Learning to Listen Deeply - Tara Brach. I am one of those mental multi-taskers she's talking about. I need to work on that - seriously.
* Today my work-mate (in the cell next to me) wants me to share the enchiladas she made. I'm sure it's going to have meat in it. I won't refuse, but I wish people didn't feel the need to cram meat into everything - enchiladas taste perfectly fine sans meat. Same goes for Chile Rellenos - there is a restaurant in my town that makes Rellenos without meat - I love them for it!
* I am glad I taped the first night of the Democratic Convention. I enjoyed Ted Kennedy very much. Even when he was unpopular I was always his fan. I've been feeling sour about politics these days, but last night made me feel a little sweeter about things.

I love Enchiladas!!
I Remember Kennedy's speech at the 1980 convention, that they were all talking about.
