Squamloonland

It’s time yet again for the 12 of 12 (thanks to PodCacher, and, originally I guess, a guy named Chad).

6:28am. In the interest if learning to manage time, I’m trying out a fascinating 7-dimensional BlackBerry time management tool called ToDoMatrix. My “Next Action” to start off the morning was to make a quiz for my accelerated class.

7:07am. Off to work—which is why I haven’t had time to finish the deck. At least I finished the stairs, so we can actually use the front door again.

9:12am. Honors study hall. I’m webmaster this year, so this is my time to disseminate the daily announcements to the community at large.

11:37am. My AP class, displaced to the conference room by state testing, takes their weekly vocab quiz. (It took longer than I expected.)

3:31pm. At 3:20, I told the hair salon that I could be there in 20 minutes. I hadn’t counted on Friday afternoon traffic headed into the lakes region on a rainy race weekend day.

4:04 pm.I arrived there at 3:52. I haven’t had a haircut since July. (My BlackBerry’s lens needs cleaning.)

I present the deck yet again as another reminder to myself that I have no concept of time.

4:48 pm: On my way to Squam to walk the dogs on this misty rainy day. All my life I’ve never tired of this view of the lake.

4:57 pm: There was a cormorant on the raft when I got there. He was gone in an instant.

5:14pm: This is one of the more fascinating spots along the fairly regular loop that I walk with the SquamDogs. I love imagining what it looked like fifty years ago.
7:13pm: The book I’m reading at present, for good reason. I actually believe I’m seeing positive results.

8:46 pm: Finally I created a 12 of 12 with a theme—and it wasn’t even premeditated. Anyway, here’s one of the few instances in life where I am time’s master. The picture doesn’t do them justice, but these babies have just reached their peak.
