Ok, I've read The One Minute Manager, The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey, Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook and started reading Lila: An Inquiry into Morals in the last week. So far they've all been pretty good reads. Lila is a follow-up to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely a very thought provoking book, and one that I haven't fully absorbed yet. I plan on going back and rereading both of them once I finish Lila. The concepts of Quality and static and dynamic value structures is incredibly interesting, and I'll probably be mulling over it for a while.
In other, more prosaic, news, I watched HEAT last night. And I've been trying to do some writing, but I don't seem to be able to get much in. In ZAMM the narator says something about the more you read the less you write or express yourself. That certainly seems to be true of me the last few days. I've tried to keep up with some of the things going on in my mind in my journal, but I just run out of things to say when I'm actually writing.
I've heard from Frank and Kristin this week, so it's been a good week for catching up with old friends. Don't worry Kristin, you'll find out why I wanted your address soon enough. I've got to call back Frank sometime, since we didn't really get much of a chance to talk. I need to get around to writing Kristin back and giving Erik a call, too.
On the down side, my door handle broke on my car, so I've been crawling in the passenger side to open my door. That sucks. And it rained while I had my sun roof open (doh!) thus soaking the passenger seat. But, miraculously, the driver side stayed dry. So the local auto place will be fixing the door next week when they do the 60k mile work. But until then, I'll be driving a gimpy car.
