ENTRY # 89 There are various states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. You know where you are in a particular state, most times, because you can see or feel it. But theres a transitional period. For example, water looks like water a long time. You add flame, and it looks just the same…for a long time. But whats happening, in reality, is that while its potential energy looks like …

ENTRY # 87 Married for 8 years. Together for 13 and a little more. And today, we are learning how to talk to one another. So hard to break out of our set call and response.
