#3 Saturday night

It was not a very exciting Saturday,but a productive one. I started at 8 a.m. with a very mindful call to my Buddhist mentor, Joanne. We had a good talk. She reminded me of a wonderful meditation at the end of The Miracle of Mindfulness, a book I read many years ago. I will pick it up at the Sangha tomorrow and refresh my memory.
Then I basically worked in my office all day, grading papers. I finished all the work for my two largest classes, but I still have papers to grade form my three smaller classes. There is always tomorrow.
On the way home I was listening to "A Prairie Home Companion" on the radio, and it was their annual joke show. Some of them were quite funny, so I listened to the rest of the show after I got home. All the jokes are on the Web: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2007/02/03/scripts/jokes.shtml
Enjoy!
