Much better now

I had to adjust my meds and am in a much better place now.

Is this tangential reasoning? I've never seen an explanation I can understand. Last night I got stranded in my Toyota Corolla sedan (innocuous right) near Concrete, WA. I was driving in near 6 inches of snow and rain. Three hours earlier I was running a trip for wiper blades when a road rock that looked like a chunk of snow flattened my front right tire. Apparently there was an avalanche earlier. I will let you compute the order and time element. I can't. My brain energy has risen about one third and diminished about 2/3 or is it that 1/3.
I am my own worst editor but apparently still have a sense of humor I think.

A denisku haiku is e=2/3mc2, e = time related energy, c = speed of light, t = time for the last six to twelve months where t is the unknown element

Serendipitous faces

Probably have the wrong Superfluity site but University Congregational Church in the 98105 prefix is having a wonderful serendipity sale on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I believe the sale starts midweek and mid April on the 17, 18, and 19th, but it could be the week before. Check the University Congregation Church website for more accurate times. The presale is a $5 donation at the door for an always crowded and fabulous opening night from 7-9pm. There's lunch served on Friday as well as food, baked goods, and anything home made is encouraged. Get there early! The line starts over an hour before opening and can get pretty crazy. It's the ultimate buyers rush! Check out their books, videos, DVD's, and antique treasures. There also have lots of household items. Tons more great stuff I have left out. Great fun if you can take the hoarding mentality pleasures. Happy hunting!

Serendipitous Superfluity

I stayed at my good friend Aaron's place place to crash for a couple nights. Recovering from some difficult meds and a legion other stressors makes you feel like you are recovering from the dead to rediscover your internal metronome. Helping clean his father's home felt oddly better. Here's what I sent Aaron after I was able to return home.

Our church is still taking donations for the University Congregational Church serendipity sale. Let me know if you'd like any help moving your stuff from your dad's house.

Staff favorites


Will feel like riddles. I'll have you guess...

I love this pen! It erases by friction. On top is clear hard plastic. You use that to erase the ink and it disappears. It will reappear when you put in freezer. Heat sensitive.

Discovered at Richmond library. You know I have a warped sense of humor All ages
Sunday Comics
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time

Discovered on book store sale table. I finished reading first two books. I'm reading the next. I love the book (New York Review Children's Collection), the illustrations, and the story. All ages
