"We can teach ourselves to think logically, and deliberately."
--Malcolm Gladwell, "Blink."

This is good news. This is really good to know, but where do I go to learn?

I just spent a half hour on The Love Porch looking for my reading glasses only to find them in their case next to my computer. When did I start putting things where they are supposed to be?

Up at 4:22 I took the dogs for a walk right away. They seemed to have an excess energy that I wanted to work out of them. My plan seems to have worked: they are laying on the floor, now, quietly. I was hungry, so I made cheese nachos, cheese, and chips, being, basically, all I have to work with, right now. I am thankful to be alive. I am thankful to be taking part in this new day. I am thankful for you being in my life. Amen.

Tomorrow I will make chili, my World Famous Chili. This batch is going to have sausage, and shrimp in it. I can not tell you how good that it is going to be. the other night, a friend read to me from a horoscope book the traits of a Gemini. Geminis have a lot of awful things going on about them. It makes me sad.

I drank my coffee way too fast, this morning, and am contemplating a second cup. It is a normal morning here: the cats have been fed, the dogs are about to be taken out, the turtles' light has been turned on. Do I turn you on?

The batch of chili that I am making, right now, is loaded with sausage, and shrimp. Yummy. It also has onions, green, and red, peppers; black beans, kidney beans, hot chili beans, and a large can of diced tomatoes. I have seasoned it with plenty of garlic powder, and sriracha hot chili sauce. My mouth is watering as I write this.

I'm looking for a job. I am always looking for a job, and I will always be looking for a job.

I just had a bowl of my awesome chili; I'm now drinking some of my awesome coffee, and I'm sitting on the awesome Love Porch reading an awesome book, with my awesome dog, Morisson, waiting for The Big Time.
