I dreamt last night of decorating and aerating a cathedral ceiling home, apparently one I lived in, with large tin holiday stars, orchestrated, I believe, by my mother and a faceless apparent mate, as if in my dreams, even, I must consult with others about interior decorating.

The online dating phenomenon, I think, even more so than meeting people in real life allows expectations to grow, unless you use it simply as a filtering mechanism, understanding that the net cast is much broader than you may think. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is probably even more relevant, especially since you believe you are measuring a mass in motion, when all you measure online is a mass or motion. Trick is to keep up with the convergent field, or at least have your outer electron clouds connect, probablistically, every now and again, maybe even generate some charge. I wish that I could look back on this with the perspective of time, but all, right now, is speculative.  

I need to talk to Laura Patton's dad about this, but I think the key to understanding patterns in lottery numbers, while part statistics, is part understanding Van der Waahls forces. I've noticed on casual observance of numbers that many winning numbers are in sequence. The probability might be high enough to negate any weak attraction, but I wonder. With the discovery of gecko's using Van der Waahls forces to stick to objects, I wonder how long before we create "anti-grav" devices based on similar principles.

I bike some 30 or 40 miles tomorrow. I forget the ratio, and I guess I'm trying not to think about it too much, of bicycle miles to running miles and hope that I'm not overstepping (or pedaling) my limit. As long as it's not more than an equivalent 12 to 14 mile run, I should be okay, but my ass is going to be saddle sore, my quads mincemeat. I can almost feel it now. It'll be great.
