Make Your Bed




Detour

What is your first reaction when called for a detour? I thought, I will rely on my directional sense. May be it was the night or may be the magnetic power of the earth was shut off but I kept taking rounds and rounds and rounds not really, I actually thought I was following someone like me, trying to get out of this trouble and onto a real road. Isnt it strange that the road is packed when the lanes are congested and suddenly only you are left. At one point, the car that I was trying to follow was trying to take a left, but with so much of oncoming traffic, the car quit and took a right. I did the same and guess where I ended. Now you know why there was so much traffic in the other direction.
Which movie was it, where the people trying to flee ending up in the same location because it was dark and raining.
How did I return? When I had enough, I pulled over in an apartment parking lot after a roller coaster maze of parking lots and resorted to the smart phone. I could have done that at the earliest but had to have some adventure. Haunted Street for the grownups.

Thanksgiving sentences and word problems

Kids are learning sentences now. Since its Thanksgiving, all the sentences are related to the Pilgrims story. They are now introduced to solving math word problems. and guess what it has all about different pieces of turkey, mashed potatoes and cookies. What a creative way of teaching and engaging kids with seasonal knowledge.

Thanksgiving: How to Cook It Well



Thanksgiving: How to Cook It Well 


Few weeks ago, we made the customary pumpkin pie buy at Costco. Looking at my cart, a lady said thats good and asked me what I make for Thanksgiving.

A friend cooked turkey once and said that it takes a long time to cook. I have never dared to cook it. The bird. I kept it safe and sticked to the green bean casserole. Another friend cooked quail instead of the big bird.


Other options are tofurky.

I heard a teacher say that she is going to bake all her pies, cookies, sides tonight and wrap them. Because you know who is going to occupy the oven tomorrow.

I was surprised to hear from someone that she is going to have a huge family and colleagues over and make everything else except the turkey.

What are your customizations to the general Thanksgiving fare?

Taste not until done

Sometimes when we use propreitary software programs, we wonder why wont it talk to me and tell me the difficulty its facing or give me an idea of its approach. It is the heisenberg uncertainty principle. Just like we dont know how a dish is going taste until we have gone through the cooking process, the program needs to run the whole course, to see if its possible or not or dry trying.

Beginner's mind




Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice 


"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few."  - Shunryu Suzuki.

A friend said that her third grader is better than Messi at soccer. He even volunteered to prepare his dad for an upcoming soccer competition. His lessons began with 4 rounds around a park.
When I spoke of this to other people, a son felt bad that the father he always lost to at chess, was defeated twice.
A father who arm wrestles his son is afraid he will lose as he is getting older and his son younger. Its not that he wants to win but that he does not want to lose. 
Kids think that they are better than world class leaders. Thats a good thing right!!

A girl loved her boots and wore them to school everyday. One day at recess time, she fell down and the zipper on the boots wouldnt work. The teacher sent the student to the nurse. The ever so helpful nurse whose reply was a bandage to all problems, snapped the damaged boot close with a set of bandages like this 'Unity Slipper'.
