After go go going all day, Jackson needed to rest.

I understand this need. I felt much the same way after the day. Still, we're not done yet!

Note to self, Jackson doesn't like spicy.

I could have hugged each and every person involved with Camp Galileo today after I walked into Jackson's classroom to pick him up, and saw these words on the wall:

Be Visionary
I envision a better world
I imaging things that don't yet exist
I believe that it's my place to turn ideas into reality

Be Courageous
I freely share my creative thoughts
I stretch myself to try new things
I embrace challenges

Be Collaborative
I value the unique perspectives of others
I build on the ideas of otehrs
I use my strengths to support the work of others

Be Reflective
I take the time to think about what is and what isn't working in my design
I think about how my work impacts other people and the world
I seek feedback to improve myself and all my work

Last week, Jonathan made a comment about my collecting things. I suspect he made the comment more as an amusing observation than anything else, but it stuck with me. Though I don't collect physical objects, and am back to getting rid of stuff again, I certainly "collect" license plate numbers. I think the collecting of plates is more of an enjoyment of playing with numbers and letters and words, and the traffic I was stuck in when I lived in Los Angeles.

These days, I have found, more often than I would like to admit, that I hesitate to spend money when the currency I'm holding has an interesting number sequence on it. It's rather like chasing the license plate holy grail of two characters, looking at currency serial numbers.

If I ever manage to find one with only two numbers on it, or even one number on it, I'm 100% sure I won't be able to spend it.

Among the things I find frustrating you'll find "neighbors butchering trees."

This is the same neighbor who knocked down our fence and shoved dog poop in my face (different times) is butchering his trees today. It's frustrating and annoying and I wish he would stop.
