Next?
What is in store for me now? Well, tomorrow we’re going to church. Cheryl and I decided that we would carpool to church tomorrow (a bit of an inside joke that I’m not going to explain). Not much is going on at this point. We are between major events, and what’s more, there are no imminent plans for another major event. What’s a guy to do? The last think I need to do right now is wish for some more excitement. That’s just the kind of wish that comes true. No, I can sense us settling down into a valley of homogeny. Some people might be tempted to call that a rut, but I’m feeling charitable tonight. The way I see it, it’s an opportunity to slow down and relax. Have you ever noticed that there is nothing so stressful as having plans? Around here, having plans is like assigning incremental deadlines throughout the day. The way I see it, nature abhors a deadline, and so does my free time. So while someone else worries about falling into a rut, I’m going to sit back and relax awhile. Wait a minute, I heard the dryer go off…

Huh?
A young man speaks with a young woman at a theme park. He tries to be cool but he comes across awkward. When he walks away the girl laughs, seemingly at the young man’s expense. Is this me?
The scene was real, but I was only an observer. I felt pity for the young man until my thoughts turned inward. It was then that I wondered how often I have been the young man in scenes like this. How would I know? Why should I care? How can I stop?

The time is now.
I have made a big leap forward; one that holds very little significance for anyone but me. I have welcomed the world into my living room. The little Bondi-blue iMac in my living room is now a web server. A copy of this site is being served up right in my living room and can be found at www.johnkauffman.gotdns.com. Am I hot stuff or what? No, don’t answer that.
