My flight to Seattle this time was interesting. I noticed in the car on the way to the airport that I was completely calm internally. Usually I have a slight bit of that wierd fear in the stomach feeling. I really don't like flying. I barely even remember thinking about flying on this trip. It was nice.

It's rainy here and cold. I miss the sun already but it is beautiful here. I love the trees and the general sense of nature that exists here due to the seasons. Tonight a friend drove me up to the top of Cougar Mountain where we just chatted for an hour. I remembered the trails up here where the kids went to camp last year and how beautiful they looked. I think for my conference up here in July I'll bring my hiking boots and take an afternoon hike on a day when I don't have sessions. Talk of my next trip reminds me of how close we are to the Shasta trip. I am so looking forward to the time away.

The LuLulemon yoga mat slips. It's nice and light for travel, felt fine on the plane but one downward dog and the slipping started. This is why I love my Manduka but those simply aren't practical for travel.

Tonight I am mulling over YouTube. The Son made some movies with his flip. They were all very funny and he told me he was going to upload them. One is a collaboration between himself, his sister nad a friend about a haunted playground... another is sock puppet animation... but when I logged in tonight I found that he'd also posted something that was both identifying of his sister and completely without consideration for her feelings. I immediately logged in to his account and deleted it. It had no views... but now I must decide how to handle YouTube. On the one hand, the videos are funny and he's enjoying making movies for the web but he must understand Internet social rules for kids.

As usual, I can't sleep in hotel rooms.
