enjoyed the weekend as i enjoy every day of my life. even the days that arent so great.  i was talking to some  new agers recently. they were going on bout how many ancient civilizations had dec 21, 2012 as the final day. the end of the world. i say that every day is the end of the world for somebody. cant live in fear of dying. gotta enjoy life as it was meant to be enjoyed.

we had lotsa company over for a cookout. food was great. when you have gone hungry a few times, you learn to appreciate any food put in front of you. i fixed the hot wings. i’m not a chef but can make a few things. they had a volleyball game going as usual. i watched some good games, til it was time for my 2 mile walk. got my own exercise i have to do. i have lost 10 pounds in the last 3 months. good news for a dude my age.

i met the couple that i will perform a wedding for later this month. they were nice people. seems more people want something other than a preacher or justice of the peace. this couple are non native but want me to do their ceremony. i said i would. i liked it that they came in person, didnt call on the phone. conducting business by phone is not the way to do it. we had a good visit.

i got a call asking me to give the invocation friday nite at da pow wow. now i feel honored. our language deserves that kind of respect. they thought of me ahead of time. i remember what this old guy that spoke potawatomi said about being asked at the last minute. he said ‘they must really be hard up to have to ask me, musta not be able to get any one else.’  even with the armies of people saving the language, we dont have more than a handful that can pray in our language. it has been said about me that all i know is how to pray in the language. though i dont considered that an insult, i do know alot more than that. i just dont have to prove it.  i get a coupla free passes for doing the prayer.

we had rain twice this weekend. my garden will benefit from that. i had to mulch some of my plants. that is for later in the summer when it is really dry. it will be necessary to conserve what rainfall we get. i will get a coupla rain barrels to store the rainfall in. i will need to cut the new downspouts of my gutters so the rain will fill the barrels. rainwater is better for gardens than the hard city water we get. i heard it only took a quarter inch of rain to fill a 55 gallon barrel.

per cap getting so close these njuns starting to look at the sales inserts in the sunday paper. the tribe gonna kick them loose early. in time for pow wow. thats good. we had some stand owners that never came back. we charge alot for not having  anyone buying. i will have to go over the grounds this week to mow my campsite. its not mowed in that part. really in the boondocks. i asked these tribal guys that were out riding around who took care of that. they said other programs. hell with them. i will do it. aint no big thing.

i was concerned about the amuk i seen earlier. i didnt see it for 3 days. i thought some numbnut shot it, but it resurfaced the other day. i was glad. i hoped it wasnt gone. i like seeing animals. we suppose to share this planet. it is big enough for all of us.
