New Decade Eve

Demographics happens. My grandson will outlive me by more than my lifetime. What a fluke. But I don’t envy him. Wife number one calls him awesome. I think of him as memorable. He may not be recapitulating, but he is re-learning what I don’t know how to learn. Watching a child gain the balances of life. Gain the meanings among and between the things around him, I can almost remember walking although I walk everyday. Have walked more than 20 mile stretches. I’ve talked and written words for others to say. But hearing the patterns refreshed can’t be packaged but is refreshing. I wish I could remember more of my own first worlds. No one can. Those days are always far away, even in this age of short lives and shorter days.

Several months ago, my interests overlapped with those of someone who had been asked to investigate the funding of a single person business that has lived off an unlikely funding source.

Rinse, repeat as necessary. Meaning until time, money, or interest expire.

And in another month the good folks at a MEMS-based sensor manufacturer will be told the results. Say hello to the internet and the very small village of italian breakfasts.
