Coasting toward Christmas

We had a release today that went well. I think everybody learned something whether they wanted to or not. I know I did, but I expect it.

Not much going on so I’m pretty much forcing myself to write tonight. I have lots to say but most of the time I’m just babbling about something that doesn’t matter much anyway. Like my ramblings on Truth. I spent a lot of time thinking about truth and what it means and how it relates to religion and philosophy. An epistemology class in college got me started. That was forever and ago so why am I still hooked on it?

Cause truth is all there is people! I could capitalize it but I’m getting tired of making such a distinction. Truth is what is. That which is right now. Why make a distinction? Because understanding it this way means you can’t really be sure of anything unless it is happening right now…and even then an understanding of truth makes you realize you can’t be sure of even that. Which is the right idea. Closer at least.

But I won’t go into my musings on truth tonight. I’ve been up since 3 am and just don’t have it in me. W. has a cold now and mine is on the way out. Poor girl. Alas the common cold is all to common these days.

I really appreciate not having anything to read or worry about any assignments that are due. Being on break is a nice change of pace from the last 4 months. School has a way of making you appreciate those times when you don’t have to be focusing on school stuff. Here am I, enjoying my coasting through Christmas.
