174. Notes - research readings and editing

174. 29 July 2019

       Early afternoon. You are at Heritage Park facing east in the shade not far south of the shelter. Carol is walking, and for a change, Carol is driving today so you are in the 'co-pilot' seat. - Amorella

       1253 hours. I have to get used to the seating arrangement while typing. I have to rest the MacBook on my left thigh and in process the keyboard wobbles a bit. Actually, the right thigh touching the armrest works better for stabilization but the keys don't line up for flow. Works better when the keyboard rests on both raised thighs but a bit uncomfortable on my hip joints, knees and ankles. So, I am back to the keyboard on my left thigh raised to 45 degrees or thereabouts. 

       Do not erase, young man. I'm checking out your technical writing skills. - Amorella

       1303 hours. Very funny. I taught technical writing for a time at Indian Hill; forgot about that. That's what I was going to do if I took the job at IBM in 1966, pay was much better than teaching but I had to wear a dress uniform -- dark suit, dark tie, black socks and a white shirt -- not my cup of tea. I forgot about teaching the class though. Three classic assignments also used in other writing classes: 1. describe the act of tying your shoe laces from start to finish; 2. including side details, describe a penny standing on end; and 3. describe light to someone your age who has always been totally blind. I loved teaching.

       You are home. Do not erase your reminiscing. You were thinking silently and your fingers kept moving across the keys. - Amorella

       Mid-afternoon. You had a late lunch at Potbelly's and are stopping for corn on the cob at Westervelt Farm off Africa Road before stopping at Kroger's north on State Street. Cathy is setting up a lunch for the four of you plus Wendy and Jim for later in the week. - Amorella

       Below is the full Wikipedia article on 'consciousness'. Miss Havisham and I will address selections pertinent to questions she is comfortable responding to. Once we have edited the material, you may post it. - Amorella

       Bedtime. You began the Consciousness article on Wikipedia with 41 pages and 10,782 words; we trimmed it to 16 pages and 4289 words. You also found  and have read two more inner related subjects: "Intentionality" and "Scholarly Approaches to Mysticism". We have more editing before posting 'Consciousness' for Ms Havisham. Post. - Amorella

       2256 hours. This research is quite interesting to me personally. 

       That it is, Mr. Orndorff. The subjects at hand are interlocked with who you are as a heartansoulanmind. mh
