Plans: we’ll see…
All-Father God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to
Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and opened-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and
mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ until the time comes to live or fight once more. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

wealth, greed, disconnected from the life source, fear of failure, an unfortunate condition, fiery powers extinguished, lack of self-esteem, an
ineffective beginning and a misuse of power.

A thirteenth I know: if the new-born son
of a warrior I sprinkle with water,
that youth will not fail when he fares to war,
never slain shall he bow before sword.
Outcome: Yeah, the divorce situation between A_ and me is unfortunate, but there is indeed a rebirth.
66F/19C is a GREAT way to greet a sunrise, and makes for a great 1-mile walk with Toby.
Mano was so low in the eastern sky as Sunna rose. It really did almost seem like she could catch him, but Mano remained elusive.
Essie has definitely discovered her jumping legs. She regularly jumps from floor to top of bed. She has also recently discovered window sitting. She’s a good girl.
Since A_ is doing less and less cooking, so am I doing fewer breakfasts. I didn’t even offer to make her the simplest of breakfasts; microwaved scrambled eggs-n-cheese; but now it’s my turn…
OMGs...poor Essie…she encountered a new sound this morning that so freaked her out: tree trimmers mulching up their downed limbs. She was ready for daddy’s arms and did not want to move.
Picked up my books for class

The domestic me; ya know, I have never liked her vacuum. Mine has been in the shed for 2 yrs, but not any more. Even after 2 yrs of not in use, it did a bang-up job!

Took Essie into her Veterinarian http://www.insiderpages.com/b/3714894847/air-capital-veterinary-clinic-wichita just to show her off. Even he was impressed at her progress and said her lip healed up nicely. She got a clean bill of health but for ear mites. He put in some drops then gave me a recipe to make my own!
There’s some very interesting finagling going on between myself and another heathen wanting to use the copyright protected Irminsul of the former I/G. He wants to use it for a t-shirt, he was told it was now my baby and to deal with me directly. The deal has been struck with Die Irminen Gefolgschaft getting a small amount for the use. It was been worked out satisfactorily. Lemme tell ya though, I don’t use the word “humble” very much or very easily, but dealing with this was a very humbling experience. The faith and trust that has been given to me to be the caregiver of a copyright protected item of a great belief system is something I cant begin to tell you how I feel. This permission comes from a great friend and a great man. His kind words today absolutely floored me…absolutely floored me.
Years ago I had an Hispanic lady teach me how to make, what she called, a potato burrito. I still make this burrito but with my own twist to it. I shredded a large potato, cut up some onion and cooked them together with a spicy kick added. Close to being done I threw in some cubed dinner sausage to let them work together for a while. I heated up a burrito, placed the mixture on and added salsa; WHAM…good eatin’!
Back to Dillons for A_; she’s carrying cash, but does she offer anything towards the budget? Nooooo…
