9:15 [orange]Start in on "Beyond Einstein"[/orange] Interesting.
[blue]It seems to have ideas about how I'm trying
to understand the last 6 years of my life[/blue]

Use text only for what text can express.
I took photos in Oct 1988 in SF
I kept maps of SF/LA in 1985 "Where to Live"

[pink]Before I have friends, I must start living in
the present + have something creative to do.[/pink]
[orange]This could be it, noting my big successes in the
past were educational software, which I
can embrace, not having children to raise.
Ie rather than focusing only on[/orange]
my desire for security
what my past means to me,
[orange]I can also emphasize how people can use their
personal info in their personal lives...[/orange]

NOTE: [orange]I FEEL GOOD AT THIS.[/orange]

It seems somehow appropriate to do this here in LA,
Allowing me to think more freely, openly.

----

[blue]Think more about how to structure memoirs.
By time is useful, but only with resolution
appropriate to the broad scope of view. Eg,
my 86-89 diaries are too detailed. But what
to keep can only be decided in retrospect.

-----

For each topic of interest,[/blue] like
where to live in Seattle, how to live
where [to live in] U.S.
Hobbies

[blue]They fade in and out of focus to me, so
they are independent pretty much[/blue]
not only of each other
but also over time.

It would be pointless for me to write papers
on the topics before current time, but I
still want to create Daily Map for them.
So look through them and make the map,
and check that nothing critical is forgotten,
or at least neglec from analysis later on.
[blue]The only reason to deal with those old issues
is that they keep coming back:
Winters in Seattle
Lack of social drive

I want to make progress + know how I
am dealing with them... That's the only
reason why it's important to note
development in a history paper, ie,
to show that the problem is chronic,
and long-standing.[/blue]
