...on the Last Minute

It was so very cold,  but worth it,  to stand on a bench at the marina [I'm short],  seeing the day off into the horizon and watching as it reached its full potential; making history.

The biting cold reminded every square inch of my short frame that I am an alive and limited creature, invited to partake in the awe of living on Earth,  but not to overstay my welcome. 

The blazing sun made me long for the warmth of days to come, made me instantly grateful for any and all of those that will include me...and even those that will not.

Colors spreading,  pelicans coasting, all is well despite all that is not...if only for the moment.

This moment.

Leave it to me to wait until the last minute to have made the most of my day.

And I think "I should do this every day ".

But,  I know that I won't... still, I leave this here a reminder that I should.

I really should. 

...on Programming Dinner

One of the Khan courses we are all taking is Java Script: Drawing. We had to fill our 'dinner plate' with morsels of code. I cooked up a steak - ish thing,  some buttery mashed potatoes, a pile of peas [mostly already eaten...those little devils would have taken forever to make a big, uneaten scoop] and ice water. I need some practice with the bezier, but that's not new, it trips me up in graphics & drawing programs also.  Still,  I passed the assignment...come, be glad with me a sec.

...on Learning New Stuff

I have been trying to use my time for 'worthy pursuits'. One of which has been giving more than a passing glance to Khan Academy.  Now there's a competition between myself & the BigKids for most points earned.  This week, I claim the win . . .but I'm not going to be sad [much] if one of them decides to kick my tail in points earned through learning stuff...in fact,  I'm rather hoping they all do. ..

Regarding that Cookie Jam icon in the picture. ..I can explain.
