Coming of Age in the Aquarian

Shady Lane Spa

Journal Entry Date: 15 Oct 2004

Thought for the Day:
"Speak little, speak only good and do not judge. Be moderate in food consumption and sleep. Follow your practice. These are the words of the Buddha." --The Buddha, verse 185 (Crosweller, Buddhist Wisdom Daily Reflections, p.300)

Brought to eye/mind today:
A quiet spot beyond the jangle of the city...

Thank you, Lord and Marrianne, for time off from the usual routine.

Journal:

• At work, we're ramping up for United Way campaign week. Our department plans a Texas Hold'em Poker tournament. Sue was asked to act as the madam for the casino and to collect money for additional chips and cards; Ursula volunteered to cook lunch two days, and I was told to sign in players coming into the building. Sue and Ursula bought dance-hall girl costumes; I came up with an idea for putting a costume together.


• Tonight is spa night on Shady Lane (Marrianne's house). Christine cooked marvelous things like two kinds of quiche, and skewered chicken with peanut sauce (with fresh-grated ginger root), and much more. Peggy massaged our cares away. Kathy gave us pedicures and manicures. And Anne Marie and her two sidekicks sang for us.
