Today though the noble deeds are becoming tiring. Received a text from friend in Zurich remeinding me I am missing the Frauenbad ( womens' swimming crib in the middle of Limmat river in Zurich)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes-- hot, flat asphalt of Florida in summer has never been my love. Whine---whine......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glad there has been a detox , a fifth birthday party, a 34th birthday date, and a trip to dentist for for lovely family members --- -but I'm ready for a sashay around the hills of Dorset, the little streets of Toffia, or some yoga mats in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently listening to a webinar on open source library but my heart and head are not in it. ( Not surprising! ) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some very anticlimatic dates should not have subdued me--but have.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But tomorrow is another day--back at Tara! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6374042530802574800-4805279899286121768?l=raisondebettyii.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raisondebettyii.blogspot.com/feeds/4805279899286121768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6374042530802574800&amp;postID=4805279899286121768' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6374042530802574800/posts/default/4805279899286121768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6374042530802574800/posts/default/4805279899286121768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raisondebettyii.blogspot.com/2009/07/from-i-capture-castle-there-is-nothing.html' title=''/><author><name>Betty</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13522625811039066434</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G69zvA9xRSY/SmYdpgfmuQI/AAAAAAAAARU/M0MZXv8D0T0/s72-c/colin.1+006.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374042530802574800.post-5974765183371174726</id><published>2007-12-18T10:28:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-18T10:44:08.964-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Virgin Islands</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G69zvA9xRSY/R2gT08g4xgI/AAAAAAAAAAo/gTYdIGNiYAk/s1600-h/Hull+Bay+002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145384374588982786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G69zvA9xRSY/R2gT08g4xgI/AAAAAAAAAAo/gTYdIGNiYAk/s320/Hull+Bay+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in the Virgin Islands for a spell. I lived for many years. So though the beauty is still enchanting I usually feel like I just went out for cigarettes and came back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spend a lot of time even here online. The phone system is not state of the art. Using a dial -up system is so frustrating. One thinks I could be out there in the blue water, not waitng for this attachment to load. But in our new life as we can work virtually work anywhere, this is better than being in a cubicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does anybody care what I've been thinking, doing, or reading or writing?   This I do know.  One can sit in a beautiful place and then look around and say to oneself , "you're still here?"    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's a gorgerous day ouotside and it's best to go and seize it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheers!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
