Me: Babe, I thought of a question that I wanted to ask you while you were away and I couldn't get a hold of you because you weren't online.
J: really, what is it?
Me: Who do you think you are? (with a cheeky smile)
J: I really don't know. ... I mean, am I only a genuine self in relating to God, as Kierkegaard said, ... or is there no independent and permanent self but only a flow of processes that I mistake for my self, as the Buddha taught?
I got served.

Ahh, yes, you certainly did. ;)
. . . and he was answering in honesty. I love him.
Of course he was! He's a philosopher! We don't answer dishonestly, if we can help it (although, sometimes a shorter answer might be warranted). :)
i've been making waaay too much food for just us these past few days... wish you were here to eat it with us and make me laugh!!!!
You're right David! I just thought I'd specify that he was his genuine self in the conversation because I thought some might have read some sarcasm into it. . .btw, I took Soren to a fantastic creative dance class at the Arlington Baths. We never made it to the pool but his teacher was wonderful. Her name is Rosina Bonsu and she also offers other classes (Yoga included). If you run into her and take a class tell her hello from me!
Charla, I miss you!
Will do! Although, we're usually there at 7 a.m., so don't run into anybody much other than the same 6 old people. :)
