Notes to Blog

Because I will most probably not get around to blogging about this stuff, I thought I would at least note the notes . . .

Blog about the phrase "I have known love," stated by NB when speaking of turning 30 and being ready to die.

Blog about my theory of alcohol management and how to control sales . . . and how no one will listen to me. (after getting out of a meeting on alcohol management policies for Antarctica and listening to stupid new directors talk about rationing).

Blog about how hard it is to sit and wait for your friends to deal with what they must. How they must. And how you have to wait for their attention.

Blog about SM shredding papers every morning and the atmosphere of fear and distrust that has taken over the office.

Blog about the phenomenon of seeing the person you made up in your head and not the person who actually stands in front of you.

What is the history of the term "red herring"?

What is the small little something that would make me not succeed? ie: like the thing that made CH unpromotable?

These next ones I carried all the way from the ice:

Blog about the conversation with Jake in the dish pit.

Blog about walking home from the hot tub.

Blog about "the commune", about manager cook day, about the ladies in the bathroom with their "water vessels" (humidifiers and tea kettles) who all gather there before bed and discuss the day.

Blog about EW sitting on the floor in the hallway with all the construction workers before they went downstairs to work. How she was reading out a child's letter full of questions about Antarctica, and how all the construction workers, sprawled all over the floor, were fascinated and attentive.

Blog about how I want my life to look at the end of it.

Blog about sitting still. About the preteen behind me on the plane who never stopped talking and about Kevin Pearson -- can't remember what he said -- but it was about talking instead of being. Art of stillness. Have you noticed most conversations aren't interesting to ease drop?

Blog about the Sweat Pea - magical land of Takaka.

Blog about the Heritage being my base camp.

Blog about releasing from the season in gasps.

Blog about Farewell Spit.

Blog about the circle of friends. Who can tell and who can't when you are needing to be propped up.

Blog about making the mistake of missing the obvious with RM and waiting for him to act.
