O Shit Yes Steve
Last Day On The Bus
If I choose it as such, today is my last day of bus life. Since I was in a life threatening head on collision mid July, I’ve been relying on the VVTA buses to migrate daily to work. Through generous donors, mostly my dad and family but a few dear friends gave hundreds and it helped me deal with all the shit a lot better. Thank you, y’all are my angels. My guardian angel will be flying us all to Bali Beach, Indonesia, and that right soon. I miss them night bird cries.
All my love full of heart … There r no words 😢
So, in lieu of words, watch this short:

I value very much that I am able to gain what I call “book mastery” over a novel or other genre or category of book. This is the ability to read and comprehend a story or a concept of self improvement, psychology, or whatever the type of book I’m reading is.
I’m able to gain mastery over what the author is trying to tell me. This partially came about as a result of getting my college education. But way before that I think it probably age five or six I began to read Dr Seuss for example at an early age and get the meaning behind what he’s trying to tell me as the reader. Book mastery is just part of an “any item I choose, albeit artistic entertaining or helpful, mastering textual stuff is my most valued superpower, if you will. There are many faces to my trust in my proven superpower of things, anytime and always. I’m proud of that virtue and skill I possess.

When I get a new semester class as a professor I get to a place of mastery over their names. It takes me probably longer than most people, especially, and I mean this in no demeaning way toward the goddesses called “women,” am definitely not a chauvinist, I put their sex on the higher pedestal than my own, But mostly I find women are quicker than men to develop that mastery of names as teachers. For me it never comes easy but I do have the ability to do it and I guess I’m thinking of it today as valuable because I finally know the names of all my students I have roughly 160 students.

So gaining book mastery is probably the thing that I’m most thankful for about myself. For my entertainment and improvement, I can create a movie of a book in my head that is far more powerful, moody and enjoyable and has far more depth than watching a director’s rendition of the same book. As you probably heard people say a hundred times I saw the movie, the book was better. I talk on this a lot at my podcast. Please have a listen! Subscribe to hear the latest, first
Every time I walk by the library at the college where I work and I see books that are discarded, abandoned/submitted on a shelf or they’re on a cart and they say “free books,” I always make sure and pilfer through that shelf for would-be treasures for my mom n. I’m most thankful for the fact that I am still at 55 years old able to get into text and get book mastery at will.
