Welcome to Season 8

About the title....

Well, before I get to the posts that were going to be on the last season,  I’ll go ahead and start with an introduction to this season. Originally, I was going to have a different title for this season but, I can’t remember what it was. I’d written it down on a sticky pad, and thought I’d made a file on my computer with the title, but, uh...lost the sticky pad page and I didn't put it on my computer.

I think I was going to call this season between wealth and poverty or something like that, and I think I was deciding between that one and another...which I can’t remember...but, uh, I think I like between thinking it and doing it better. Just came to me today (or yesterday, by the time I post this).

I think originally, I was going to make statements of our economic situation and an uncertain financial future...or perhaps more where I was going to fit within the parameters of wealthy and poor...but I think I’ve changed my mind a bit and will try to focus more on what I’m going to do to survive in the system I live in. (...Or is that the same thing? ...No, no. The attitude is different.)

Between wealth and poverty probably would still be a good title for this season...in fact, maybe between thinking it and doing it is too ambitious a title for this season since I’m planning on being in Korea another year so I probably won’t be “doing” anything that I’m thinking of until the next season. (Maybe I should call this season between hemming and hawing.)

Well, I’ll just stick with this one. As usual, the blog title will indicate a general theme that describes where I am in my life (and likely will be for the duration of the season...though not always and not necessarily), but the posts will be about whatever I’m thinking about on that particular day or (like journal entries) what I did that day or will be doing soon and will not necessarily seem related to the theme of the season. But if you've been following this blog, you already know that.

Anyway, welcome to Season 8. I’ll try to get those other posts up that were supposed to be on the last season sometime this week. Topics to come...more on cost, respect between mind and body and how it relates to respect between other authorities and subordinates, and...Tony Stark.
