Plans: class
NOTE: If there’s no sign of Socks by Saturday, because that will mean he’s been gone a week, I’m going to start tearing down his porch world and accept it that he’s gone.
* Awww…Dapper, an orange and white kitty from across the street, came over for a snack. He/She was bold enough to come look into house through the storm door. I think he/she’s becoming bolder since Socks is missing. I’ve always liked Dapper.
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 open-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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the physical man the day
Ansuz (R): Outside the favor of Wodan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wodanic wisdom, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, the shadow side of Wodan.
Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today
Hagal: The Mother of all Runes, the All-Mother, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the universe, Higher Self, Divine within, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds.

A seventh I know: if I see a hall
high o'er the bench-mates blazing,
flame it ne'er so fiercely I still can save it, --
I know how to sing that song.
Outcome: Wodan has turned his back (Ansuz) but Frija faces me! I’m use to that. So where’s Socks?
Toby was well behaved on his 1-mile walk; ever in search of Socks.
Machining class went well. I finished my part and there was nothing else to do for now, so I decided to go home for lunch.
While at home for lunch I put an add on http://wichita.craigslist.org/ lost and found in an effort to find Socks.
Breaded chicken, baked potato with peas: YUM!
I got a letter today from A_ with her “orders” about what she wanted me to do with the few things she still has here. I’m in no hurry to comply.
I also got a letter from my attorney. It looks like March 28 for a finalization of divorce. WTF?
Essie time on her tether, so family time outside. Fish came by for a brief visit. Toby just could not bring himself to behave. Three times he took it upon himself to chase…something. I let it go by twice but the third time he was sternly reprimanded.
No sign of Socks…
Scata, Winter goddess, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl.
There, show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness. Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of
your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives. Direct us to be strong, able and worthy of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
