This afternoon at work I got to do the fun kind of work. The kind where you're in a a good groove, you know what you are doing and you're just solving the logic. It's quite fun, it's very mental and very much like yoga. I like productive work like that.

I am so very much looking forward to having a day off from yoga (and dreading being in L.A. all day tomorrow). I also know that I've been far too attached to the physical practice as I struggle with these backbends. I hope with this day off I can get my soul back together and forgot about these stupid backbends.... it only comes when you aren't wanting it.

When I got home tonight, The Son had finished his first Lego Mindstorms robot. Mind you the box says it is for 12+ but he's so amped about it. So with Mindstorms you build a robot, it talks via infrared to your computer and you can "program" the robot. It is a simplistic language really, a definitive set of commands (forward, back, wait, for loops) the processor is pretty simplistic but there are some cool things like light and touch sensors. Anyway we installed it and he did 6 of the training missions.... It's pretty wild actually... his mind is just like mine.... he's the next generation of pocket protector uber-geek.
