Some Things

1. I weighed 200.2 pounds yesterday. This statement is purely positive. "It is what it is."

2. I finished W. Timothy Gallwey's The Inner Game of Tennis. I wished I had read it back when I was playing ball and throwing shotput. It really cleared up some things that I never fully understood while I was competing. The secret to success is focusing, doing what comes naturally, and not fighting what comes naturally. I am not doing the book justice. Read it.

3. When I was in the 11th grade someone stole my book bag while I was in the shitter. I eventually recovered the bag and everything in it. This event did not affect my shitting behavior, but I thought about it last night in the library when I took my bag into the shitter with me. Fortunately it was a handicap stall and had enough room.

4. I taught a class (lead a class discussion) this morning. It was the most fun I have had in a while. I enjoyed it. And if I want to do it for a living, I am going to have to finish this damn thing.

How was being an Austrian? How many people had even heard of Austrian economics before?

It was fun, but I was much more understanding of opposite view points than I could have been. I certainly wasn't confrontational, and I don't know if that was a good thing or not.

Nobody except the people who knew me had ever heard of the Austrian school of thought.

It was fun.
