Hello Measly Steppers,

My heart danced when I noticed a chance for a bit of freelance research. Took less than 3 minutes ...

Philips Page on their Voluntary Recall

Also looked up The Great Trespass in 1932. A fantastic commons-force protest that sparked public and political support for open access to nature (across the boundaries of 'private property') for all. I believe bad news travels fast and good news is a homebody. Here it is 2024, 92 years later, and this is the first time I'm learning about this. Mind you, I've studied non-violence philosophy and tactics for years and no one had written about this or mentioned it in speeches. It would have served as inspiration to Rosa Parks & Dr King in the 50s.

Breathing. Today I'm using that as my theme. Yesterday, half of my troubles with TK Elevators got finally solved. Just been doggedly keeping it in sights since November. And the last solution is one that our bookkeeper might have fixed without any nudge and paying bills is supposedly her job. The final part fell in place when I asked TKE if they had electronic payments. Yes they did, there's a click box where you can set it up. I "wired" (meaning emailed) this to our bookie and she had it paid within a couple of hours.

In the current malaise affecting commerce where seeming everyone has forgotten how to think and take steps without direct orders, stringing together enough moments of illumination to finish something minor now feels like winning a bronze medal. I've suffered and observed much that I'm definitely putting to use going forward.

Measly Steps today and the morrow:
  • Finish reading and taking notes on Priestdaddy, a funny memoir by the daughter of a Catholic priest (if there ever was a hook for a memoir, she's found it).
  • Finish soon Negotiating the Impossible in prep for some negotiating I have to face.
  • After 75 days of bumpy and stressful "retirement"—jubliglum—go and taste some jubliglee at the counter of the local cooking school.
  • Think through literally walking away (taking a breather) from the annual meeting so the other owners can praise or curse me while sorting out who will step up next to serve the commons via the Board.
  • Monday, I'm planning on luxuriating at the Korean spa.

More glee, less glum.

PS: Is there a trick to getting my list the same font & size as the rest of the text?
