Today was another study day. I didn't get quite as much read as I had hoped, but I'm well into three of the books for the communication class. I felt that it was more important for me to really understand what I've read so I took about three hours today and wrote a couple papers, just for myself, to summarize and restate what I'd read in Type Talk at Work (about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and Why Business People Speak Like Idiots (about avoiding the traps and pitfalls that get in the way of successfully communicating at work).
About 4pm Sue and I went for a walk with Ron from Unified over to the Venice Canals. They're just about two blocks from Oakwood and I would never have known they were there. It's a series of canals between the streets with houses lining each of them and footbridges in between. In typical California fashion there's every manner of architectural style and size ranging from 1000 sq. ft. bungalows to 3000 sq ft moderns. One of the larger houses we passed was for sale for a mere $2.9 million. It even had a two car garage which, I would say, is unheard of around here.
After the walk Ron and Sue came over for dinner. I used the "Easy Enchilada" filling I had made yesterday to whip up some enchiladas which were accompanied by a chop salad (thanks Ron for bringing tomatoes) and a quick pan of cornbread. We decided we'll carpool together tomorrow, leaving at 7 am to make sure we're early.
Tomorrow's the first day of class and I feel very excited. I'm anxious to get to work.
