26 April 2013

Points! One point for each record you bought on Record Store Day last week.

Two points for each key on your keyring.[More:]

Three points for each food group (per the FDA: fruits, veggies, grains, protein, dairy) you've eaten today.

Look around you--Four points for each clock you can see.

Five points for each time this week you've stood on the edge of a body of water and looked out across it thoughtfully.
Oops--some of that was supposed to be the more-inside.

Me: One point for a Fela Kuti "Sorrow, Tears and Blood 12".

Car, truck, work, home: four keys, eight points.

Chicken sandwich with cheese = protein, grain, dairy, nine points.

Watch, desk clock, computer clock, twelve points.

Five points for Lake Maumelle.

Total: 35 points.

0: sadly I haven't bought any music since I bought a couple of LPs from a thrift store a year or so ago.

4: 2 keys on my current key ring. Interesting note though (at least to me), a couple days ago I found a set of keys that I'd lost 3 or so years ago on a trip. I'd spent a lot of time looking for them and a lot of fretting over it since it isn't like me to lose keys and one of them wasn't replaceable. Nice surprise to find them.

9: fruit, grain, dairy. But where do walnuts fit in?

16: Clock on the wall, another by the bed. Watch on my desk and of course one on the computer.

0: I spent a few moments looking at a puddle in the back yard this morning. Not particularly thoughtful. But last week I was at the Grand Canyon. Only a glimpse of the water there though...

I am totally going to win this.

OK, so records - 0. BUT --

1. Key ring: 22
2. Food: 15 (at breakfast alone!)
3. Clocks: 16, including the one on this computer screen. (and: desk clock, Iphone display, and even a photo frame with clock display.)
4. I look out my office Magic Window -- what we call it -- daily at Puget Sound. It's my mini-meditation. So that's 25.

Total: 78.

Records - 0, sadly. I had to work.
Key Ring - 3 (house, car, work) * 2 = 6
Food - all five = 15
Clocks - 4 at the moment (two alarm clocks, phone, computer display) = 16
Body of Water - I'm not gonna count the pool, although I do that quite a bit. Not really a body of water though, so zero.

Total: a paltry 37
