What’s been going on? Emma the Baroness received that life saver poke in the arm through the backseat driver’s side (no comment) window as we drove through Soka University. It’s a life saver for two reasons.
“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”
Hi and welcome to Thursday’s Episode 8 in Season 3 of “My Paradoxically Normal Year” on this 11th day of March in the spring of 2021 — which is a three-year examination of how bits of wisdom changed during the “normal” pre-pandemic year and then in the pandemic year, and now months after.

“5” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Ever since the Big Bang, this plane of existence has been made up of contrasts, curves and cycles. You wouldn’t want it all one way. Embrace how it is now. It’s about to change.” Aries
Evidence
One, for real and two the Pfizer’s second dose allows her to vacate with the boarders and skiers at Mammoth Mountain in the eastern sierras.
Yay! However comma.
Have you ever lost a document because it became so long that, when you tried to save your world-changing insights after hours of composing, it crashed?
Or the Apple circle of death icon spun and spun? Some days it feels like I’m snake bit, as my old pappy would say.
There’s always something that forces a resourceful work around — which frequently is temporary and which causes more harm than not — like going all in on start up technology that goes belly up.
I’m looking at you Hypercard, delic-i-ous, Microsoft Entourage…
Why am I bitching and moaning?
My latest work around threw all my hard won efficiencies out the window.
-
- One master document weighs in at 1.7 MB (by the way is that larger or smaller than say 254 KB? I can never remember.
- It’s like a brain stutter as I try to figure out if bond yields increase that’s somehow a bad thing), and 643.5 pages required a breakdown.
- Or else I’d suffer one.
- The short and the long of it means it takes me 2.5 x longer to accomplish simple tasks dipping into and out of nine smaller instead of one larger source.
Oh, I forgot.
Biden’s $1.9 Trillion relief package passed the Senate and the House so he’ll put pen to paper and tip the first domino of recovery so it falls off the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office and into your bank account in about 72 hours.
Now turning back to what is really important, me.
Actually, what is important to Zahn, Winkler, Emma the Baroness and me.
While I am neither a spy or a secret society member, if my mother is correct my grandfather worked for the State Department in the Brooklyn Naval Yards and achieved one of the highest orders in the “Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masonery.”
I must come by it honestly — craving privacy.
“5” Steve Zahn, 51: “Though you’re not a spy or a member of a secret society, and you’re not doing much today that you shouldn’t be doing, you still want privacy and appreciate most those who respect yours the best.” Scorpio
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Note: This is not my birthday, but I’ll sign up for it anyway, especially the June part. Maybe you should too.
Today’s Holiday Birthday:
Perhaps improving sleep, fitness and nutrition is not included on your list of ambitious and glamourous goals. And yet, self-discipline in this regard will be cosmically the birthday gift you’ll most cherish, as all you desire will be served on the shiny platter of good habits. An excellent rating gets you promoted in June.
Good habits, eh? Sure, but will they help me when McQueens’ ominous warning comes true? Near as I can figure after the Big Bang came Young Sheldon, but I’m a student of gaps, cycles, innovation curves and science and art contrasts.
“5” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Ever since the Big Bang, this plane of existence has been made up of contrasts, curves and cycles. You wouldn’t want it all one way. Embrace how it is now. It’s about to change.” Aries
Somehow I’m getting Smith and Nicks are pointing to cult-like bias fed by certain social media platforms and geezer cable news channels. Wait, you’re saying I should read it again? Okay. But I stand by my set up. I’m inferring science asks questions, closes gaps in understanding in such a way that the answers can be repeated yielding the same results.
“5” Steve Smith, 30, Stevie Nicks, 72: “It really doesn’t matter how good a person is at formulating answers if all of the questions are pointless. This is why you examine your questions with the aim of up-leveling before you ask them.” Gemini
Here I felt the Holiday Tau kept me on a roll. While I did achieve a period of lucid dreaming and value imagination more than you know, I’m not rating G&G’s as high as the other Steve.
“3” Steve Greene, 34; Steve Guttenberg, 61: “You will travel through the magic of media and dreams. Your own fantasies provide the sweetest escapes but much more is possible. Learning to guide your imagination is a skill that will bring good fortune to hand.” Virgo
Oops, maybe I should combine Kerr’s with Greene and Guttenberg to reach a higher score. And I use imagination after I stuff my mind with facts and figures in my meditations.
“5“ Steve Kerr, 54: “You’ll be working your mind like it’s your job — because it is. While feeding your brain the facts and figures that will be necessary, also throw in the unnecessary stuff that makes it all go down a little sweeter.” Libra
I see how it is. Ending today while reminding myself about my bitching and moaning about losing all your careful articulation and long hours and effort only to loose your precious document.
“5” Steve Nash, 45: “Communicating well will require careful articulation, patience and a level of attention emotional attunement that is, quite frankly, work. Nonetheless, everything good comes through good communication.” Aquarius

- “Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History” by Kurt Andersen Both of us, Emma the Baroness and I, have been processing the acquittal of our ex-President — not really being surprised by the “Big Lie” promoting followers in the Senate, but more disappointed after seeing new video documentation of the insurrection and detailed evidence time lines. I return to Kurt Andersen’s book “Fantasyland” to help me through the process of filtering the unfolding events.
