Workday yesterday was intense. The commute was a little slow due to an injury accident. I'd left early, so i made it in time for the meetings but not in enough time to center. We had the day long SCRUM kickoff meeting which went well enough, but was a fairly continuous "ON" for me all day.

I do clown a bit, performing reactions more exaggerated than they really are. It seems to be how i feel comfortable engaging with the group.

We task planned for about a week's worth of work (given how many folks are out for Google IO and vacation).

The drive home was long enough to listen to a short story, but by the time i was home i couldn't bear the thought of exercise (on my own) or doing anything responsible. I ended up eating some of Christine's sweets and just sitting around until she would make me dinner.

I'm sprouting mung beans but i'm not sure they'll be ready for this week's stir fry. We'll eat the seven or eight sugar snap peas that have matured. The deck looks lush with all the plants, but fruiting plants don't seem to really do well. If one could eat geraniums i could feed us. Well, actually, i know scented geraniums are edible, but i have a hard time imagining feasting on them. Lining pound cake pans with the leaves, scenting sugar, making tisanes. But steamed geranium leaves?

On the other hand, the plants are so prolific, i suppose i could experiment. I'd just need another one of me as a control so i could determine whether any rash, headache, or gastrointestinal reaction was just part of my usual complaints or due to the geraniums.

So, perhaps not a good idea.

I'm looking at a US flag flying over the near by shopping center. For a moment, i was transported to a frame of seeing where the flag wasn't a symbol, but was a brightly billowing visual attraction. For a moment i could imagine the visual world pre-television and movies, pre-color newspapers and magazines, and the impact of the dynamic flutter of a flag struck me.
