Last Friday (the 19th of July) we had my wife's nephew, his wife and their daughter over for dinner and games.
The night went well. I made dinner, and they appeared to like the asparagus and the bacon chicken meal I made. We played a new (to me) version of Catan afterward (Traders and Barbarians- we choose the "fisherman of Catan" variation). The last time I was with them, we talked about his wife's family- her parents and siblings have some issues... this time I was able to share with them what my family was/is like. __________________ My business is to teach my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations.

Some other things that went well.
1. I had lunch with the same nephew today. 2. I just got back from a 3 day boy scouts camping trip. My son and I had some good father/son time, and I had some good interactions with 2 people. __________________ My business is to teach my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations.

Last Saturday we (my wife, son and I) were invited to a colleague of my wife's for the day, along with several other people who work with my wife. It was a good time- we played frisbee, went on a pontoon boat ride, ate some good food, and had some good conversation. I spent quite a bit of time talking with a Vietnam vet about his experiences (he brought it up- and I'm also a veteran (2003-2011)). My son had a great time swimming and interacted well with the other kids.

I'm not sure why, but it was a really good morning. My wife and son were in a good mood, and we laughed and joked around as we all got ready for the day. Then we had a group hug and kisses all around before my wife and son left the house.

I went and played 18 "holes" of disk golf. It was a beautiful morning- I was the only one there, and I played a pretty good game (that means I didn't lose any disks today!).

Toastmaster's went fairly well yesterday- I tried a new role- that of grammarian- and I did a good job.
I had lunch today with a friend I haven't seen in a while.... It went pretty well- he let me know he's excited about my plans for the future. We hope to meet up again soon- our boys have a good time together. __________________ My business is to teach my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations.

this year (on febuary 28th), marks 1 year since I've been abused in a physical nature. it was a big day for me, as it was something I never thought I'd see
emotional abuse is still a huge part of my life, but it's still a good result |

It wasn't all good- but my son and I tried a new-to-us disc golf course. Then we met some old friends for dinner- good food- some good conversation.

My son and I tried out another new-to-us disc golf course. And I own my own business and am planning a trip for mid-October- A trip that will mix business and pleasure.

I had a good time tonight at an outdoor concert- with my son. There have been some tensions between me and another person, and I made an effort to sit near her and talk with her- and she was actually pretty friendly. It's tough sometimes to know how people are going to act- I'm glad I took a chance.
I also had a good time recently marching in a Pride Parade- it's the first time I publicly gave my support. Pride parade - Wikipedia __________________ My business is to teach my aspirations to conform themselves to fact, not to try and make facts harmonise with my aspirations. T.H. Huxley |

I went in for an interview for a volunteer position, and it went well. I start training next week. Then I played 18 holes at a disc-golf course, and after that, I met my wife for lunch.

Over the weekend, I hosted a philosophy meet up, and I talked at length about metaphysics, including some things from Plato's dialogue Phaedo. I felt really good talking about those things.

My son and I played 8 holes of disc golf with 2 of his friends from school and their mom. A pretty good time just hanging out. The kids played at the playground for a while, as well.
