AGTSP! Paoho & Bw!
Here we are on our desk by the window. We sit on top of the desk and our feet don't swell up. People think we are weird. You have your problems, we have ours. People think we are weird. People tell us that, "You know Hanumat Swami, at first I couldn't relate to you. I thought you were weird, but now I begin to see that you're weird, but it's kind of normal. Some people are weird, but they have a solid reason for it".

It's 4.36PM. The Sun just set behind the Shell Oil gas station and the cars are rushing and shushing on their way to get home. We feel bad. You probably feel bad too. Headache, tooth-ache, back-ache, stomach ache, low energy leading to depressive thoughts (eg. You are a loser. You have done nothing for anybody. You have nothing to show for your life!).

It's amazing how funny the mind can be.

Without Prabhupada, a bona-fide Guru, it's a fact that our lives would be useless. We get temporary satisfaction from watching football games with friends or going to the beach, but it is not like the intelligent understanding of what is worth getting in this current situation. We are half awake. Ooooooo!    So we don't know 100% what is the right thing to do, but we are right 1/2 (78%??) of the time, and that of course brings us to wake up more and more. Living in this material world is like driving Krsna to a party with Him in the front seat next to you in the rain. You have to be a little careful because of the rain and other drivers, but it doesn't require all your intelligence. Most of your attention is on the converstation that Krsna is having with Sridham.

Got a lot of work done, today. It was a lot of little stuff, so unless we tweet it all, it doesn't show up as much.
Eg.

• Worked on our SB PPTX for Friday.
• Scanned second 1/4 of Tpp-Cb16, and hope to post it tomorrow.
• Ironed our clothes (15 minutes daily).
• Read Shonu Shamdasini
• Researched Journey to the West in Spanish (See it on the Spanish Wikipedia. There is a Spanish version!)
• Talked with Tom and Dr. Samaresha and Aja and Sri Hari Das in India. . .

Now - 4.45PM. We will chant Gayatir sandhya and then drive over to Office Depot to see if they can give a free tune-up to our computer, go to Kroger's to buy milk and then to NGD's ashrama for walking and talking!

Hare Krsna!  Hare Krsna!
