    Second and last class tonight in InDesign, a text and image formatting program by Adobe that I plan to use for designing my own e-books to sell to Amazon.  Not sure how far I got with this program, but enough to get started anyhow.

    For the first time, this was my sixth evening at Champlain high school, there were students around. Band practice, I don’t know what else.  For some reason I got a sense then of students as a river, flowing through a school, the individuals changing, but the river always moving, filled with water.  In the train of that thought came a wondering about teachers related to the river.

    Kate took an Excel class tonight at Blaine High School.  She says she learned a lot.

    Education always cranks me up, gets my energy working.  It was true tonight.

  • Leave Taking

    At the dentist this morning I told them Kate and I planned to use a dentist closer to our home here in Andover.  This was what got me thinking about leave taking.  We’ve been with Centennial Dental for over 22 years and making the change was not a trivial decision.

    In part we switched because our new dental insurance doesn’t include them, reason enough for sure; but, this was more a decision about not wanting a trip to the dentist to take three hours or so.  Centennial Dental is in Edina near the Macy’s Homestore.  They are great dentists.  That’s why we stayed so long.

    After that, a nap, and then off to Champlain High School and my third and last, for now, class on the Adobe Creative Suite.  This class is on Adobe InDesign. I’m cranking up to sell my books on Amazon, through the Kindle store.  InDesign will let me format my books myself and save them in a file congenial with the Kindle operating system, perhaps others, too.

    Then there’s the verdammt melancholy.  After the dentist I drove right at a car coming from my left.  I missed her, but my attention was not there.  Vacillating now between acting as if I’m fine and seeing if that will lift my spirits or biting the bullet, calling my old analyst John Desteian and my gp Tom Davis, take arms against this sky of clouds and by opposing them grow more cheerful.
