Early Morning Misunderstanding

A few years ago, when the alarm went off, and Jennifer had shut it off, she turned to me and asked, "Do you have supervision today?" Essentially, she was planning on playing hooky or had a holiday I did not, and wanted to know if I could take the day off as well.

Now, I was not fully awake yet, and I heard, "Do you have super vision today?" I thought she was wondering if I had somehow developed super powers in the night.

It led to a little confusion after my denial of super vision, but it did make me think my wife was pretty cool to pose such a question. She's still pretty cool, but this would have put the whole thing up another level.

As a show of her further coolness, other than our trip to Las Vegas, Jennifer got me the complete "Friends" on DVD. Last night we watched the series premier and the first two episodes. That was a lot of fun. I look forward to watching the rest over the next few months.

Crunchy on the Inside

And this evening's creepy thought: Have you ever looked at an animal moving, and suddenly envisioned just its skeleton moving?

I'm laying on the bed reading before going to sleep, and Pom the Cat walks into the room. She stretches her neck, sniffs at Jennifer's closet, and bats at something inside it. Suddenly I have an overlay of just her skeleton doing that.

It's an odd thing. And it's not the only odd thing I see that way.

I have considered musical instruments and speakers, and imagined seeing the sound waves propagating from them.

I have thought of photons striking the surface of the earth, and all we have built, and transferring bits of their energy in heat from the impact.

I have thought thought about what moving air currents must look like if we could see them. The turbulence and all the miniature tornadoes.

Super vision would be a cool power.
