“Great minds discuss ideas. 

Average minds discuss events. 

Small minds discuss people.” 

― Henry Thomas Buckle

I saw this quote and immediately thought

of a situation at work with a co-worker. 

He's become fixated on a situation that I 

think he made up in his mind.  He likes to

grow tomatoes and make home made salsa -

always a good thing in the southwest! - 

but for some reason his plants all died. 

He's convinced that it was the result of 

two co-workers who colluded and found out

where he lives, climbed over his balcony wall

and purposely killed his tomato plants.  

But he didn't let it go there; he has turned it

into a police matter.  The two he points a

finger at aren't related or even friendly enough

in my book to have done something like that.

One is male, one is female.  

I say forget the tomatoes, start over after the

heat of summer, and let it go.   But he's the kind

who doesn't let go of things, even things that 

happened more than five years ago.  

Sorry.  Odd little story to add here, totally not

related to anything much, other than I have to

work with this person on a daily basis, and 

sometimes it affects me greatly to hear the

stories, accusations, implications of what may

result from this.  I fear it will cause the two 

co-workers to transfer out of the store.  

Some days I come home exhausted just from

the telling and retelling.  I've even resorted to

putting in an earplug - and when I can get away

with it, listening to my mp3 player!

Sometimes the drama of other peoples' lives

leach over into our own, even when we don't 

want for it to happen.   Maybe I should tack

this sign up on my wall at work.  hehehehehe

Busy, Busy, Busy

Ready for The Wedding Shower.
2.5 hours drive to destination
and back again, as I didn't take Sadie along.
Last weekend was very busy!






I'm not one to enjoy
a lot of "busy - ness "
I get plenty of that at
my day job.  When I
am home, it's time for
me, time to persue the
things that feed my soul:

Long walks with Sadie
help in a big way, along
with reading a good book,
watching an enjoyable movie
or listening to music.

Without those things,
it's difficult to be in a
place where I feel the
creative pull to do ....
what I do.

We had a rain shower last night
and I woke up in the wee hours
listening to it rain.  Of course I
was anxious for first light to get
outdoors....
there's something about the
smell of the wet desert.....
