[9:23:43 AM] pD says: howdy!

[9:24:10 AM] pD says: i am on my new schedule since now that I have leave around 5pm to pick up the little boss from day care

[9:24:44 AM] AE says: hello there Mr. Sir!

[9:24:46 AM] pD says: still have not quite figure out all the daily flows

[9:25:22 AM] AE says: easy. you leave in the hour of scampering. return at the hour of close.

[9:25:36 AM] AE says: eat at the hour of consumption.

[9:25:43 AM] AE says: and take your soma...

[9:27:33 AM] pD says: soma?

[9:28:08 AM] AE says: from Brave new world. it was a drug the populace was given to keep them calm and happy.

[9:33:58 AM] pD says: indeed

[9:34:04 AM] pD has changed the chat topic to "soma"

[9:34:13 AM] pD says: so, what is your soma of choice(s)

[9:36:01 AM] pD says: i must confess that i have smoked and inhaled several times, but it did not do anything for me

[9:36:46 AM] AE says: running is my pleasure inducing passion.

[9:37:07 AM] AE says: nothing better than the feeling you get after 50 miles....

[9:37:15 AM] AE says: ... and then stop.

[9:37:20 AM] AE says: ahhh...

[9:37:52 AM] pD says: since I advocate eating desert first, i would start with the stopping part, then, think about running - if i were to run

[9:38:00 AM] pD will never make a good runner

[9:38:17 AM] pD says: i do yoga - not long time or fancy poses

[9:38:28 AM] pD says: but, it does help me to clear out my mind

[9:38:37 AM] pD says: or, often time, think through a few things

[9:39:41 AM] pD says: my BIB is an Iyengar yoga instructor, so i do have some advantage there in that i have all the prop and instruction with easy access

[9:39:55 AM] pD says: BIB = benevolent illustrious boss

[9:54:06 AM] pD says: hi AE, i think nsy is ignoring us

[9:54:12 AM] pD says: that, or she is deep in her soma

[9:56:13 AM] AE says: no. she's just trying to get ready for the post sales after our crazy week last week.

[9:56:30 AM] pD says: ah! she is on her negative soma

[9:56:42 AM] AE says: i thought your boss was very small. though they have some great yoga moves...

[9:56:55 AM] AE says: brb. transferring to the shedquarters for the meeting.

[9:58:01 AM] pD says: i have two bosses - one big and one small. the big one is BIB and the small one comes in many names - depending on how big of a mess i need to clean up

[10:01:37 AM] AE says: back

[10:02:15 AM] AE says: haha.

[10:02:23 AM] AE says: i remember the days of little messes...

[10:02:39 AM] AE sighs wistfully at the easy life of a new parent

[10:03:19 AM] AE says: once they become far ranging... so do the messes!

[10:33:27 AM] pD says: yeah, i sometimes feel strongly that a good spanking could work wonders

[1:02:17 PM] pD says: this is the japanese noodle film Tampopo that i was telling about: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092048/

[1:02:26 PM] pD says: i cannot recommend it enough

[1:03:40 PM] pD says: speaking of which, i should put on my movie list again

[1:10:25 PM] pD says: this is clip from the film. specifically it shows how to make a rice/egg omelet japanese style. i always renew my respect for the humble ketchup after watching this segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-GFimGcYJw

[1:12:47 PM] pD says:

[1:13:35 PM] nsy says: ha - thats great stuff! i am definitely going to put that on my movie list

[1:14:06 PM] nsy says: the noodle place today was great - thanks so much!

[1:14:19 PM] pD says: glad that you enjoyed it.

[1:14:43 PM] pD says: btw, whenever you have a chance, would love to see some of the antiques that you talked about

[1:16:53 PM] nsy says: oh - thanks for reminding me. the only one i have at home now is the fertility necklace. the carved bone pieces are in my mom's curio cabinet in camarillo - sorry. but i'll try to remember to bring in the necklace so you can check it out. maybe you can even read the writing!

[1:17:36 PM] pD says: that would be very cool

[1:19:53 PM] pD has changed the chat topic to "warren buffet"
