"Truth is a tendency." - R. Buckminster Fuller

I finished up the trim on the living room window, went through the fourth Portugues lesson for the fourth time, and - with Pam's help - got more wood cut down to size for this smaller stove.
Re. the Portuguese curriculum, they don't want you moving to the next lesson until you've mastered about 90% of the content in the current lesson. For whatever reason this one challenged me more than the first three.

One of the things I learned is a new way to say goodbye. In addition to the informal "tschau" I can now use "até logo" which is a bit more formal.

The guy on the CDs I'm using to learn Portuguese (after teaching me some vocab and sentence structure):
"Now imagine you're at a party sitting next to a woman and want to introduce yourself to her. What would you say?"
But they haven't taught me those Portuguese words yet.

I listed Goulash for sale on Craig's List but haven't received any responses yet. This could be another truck experience. The good thing: if Goulash doesn't sell she'll end up on the table, something that couldn't be said about a 20-year old Dodge truck.

We have to move ahead one hour in the spring, back to Daylight Savings Time, but that should be the last shift. Oregon voted to stay on DST but if I understand correctly that has to be approved by Congress. If we'd voted to stay on Standard Time that would not require the feds' approval. Go figure.

Tomorrow morning's class includes a presentation of the Tabernacle, it's design and construction from the second half of Exodus. That's a topic that should get weeks, not minutes. Its complexity and its importance both warrant close attention. That's just one of the problems with a "read through the Bible in a year" program.
Oh well.
