So early mornings,
instead of MourningPages2019
FreeWriting, starting out to feed the fish,
and get a gift, which seemed to be a free Hour,
and then winning some, and that gave another
hour, or two, so Three Hours, total,
and went way up on a competition,
to First, but getting sick of the game,
more than usual,
Explosion, Explosion,
Boosters, to start out each level as ahead,
and each win, while not winning every one,
first time, as gives a ticket: Gold, Silver, Bronze,
whatEver,
plus some carry over, besides rewards,
starting out each time, a new level gave some
extras, maybe Rachel, (a character in the game)
and the StingRay (shocks, electrical Lightning Bolts)
on the Candy aquarium, with the first aquarium
rather basic, but get check marks for three stars,
can move fish between them, into storage,
with a net, or sell them, get coins back,
but also other currencies,
LeaderBoards: Paper originally,
up to Ruby
earning Pearls, and went past level 300,
say 50 levels later, over 1000 points
over the next highest,
and quit for the very long feeling day...
Others caught up and surpassed,
I ended that competition as 4th,
which was below the high Three,
not getting some rewards,
but difficulty getting going,
other things on my mind,
a distraction, perhaps,
winning, originally,
rewarded, and kept going,
like planing on a boat,
when it goes up on the wave,
like a surf board, and resistance
is less,
a big boat, not just daysailors,
small boats, dinghie (sp?) class
but bigger boats, with bigger waves
and kind of roll down the wave,
and a pattern emerges, from back in my sailing
days, high school, some college, and a little
while after, into my 20's, likely up to 30,
but not really since, so 25 years since
sailing, Racing, Crew, Skippering,
Cruising/Touring on holidays,
like today Memorial Day 2020
my father would pay and mother
arranged, bigger boat rentals,
others as skipper, and got out for a while,
later with mother's friend(s),
some had boats, and as a family,
my mother's side, rented one,
we got blown across the Chesapeake Bay
called the Coast Guard,
one of my last, with family,
while had started out as SunFish,
later WindSurfer (one similar i owned,
bought in North Carolina
had tried Hang Gliding, on Dunes
at Kitty Hawk, and on the airplane landing strip
pulled up by a pickup truck, launched like
a human kite, with an instructor (double,
jokes of prison ride (too close)
and landing coordinated while tandem
was interesting, running fast to catchup
with the speed, while flaring (head up)
to slow down, similar, somewhat to helicopters,
slowing to land,
touchdown, like for airplanes,
the dunes were warm, and you walked the
hang glider back up the dunes, down was fun,
up was warm, and exercise on legs/ arms,
but braced in a triangle, solo flying,
with instructor(s), learning both classroom
and on the dunes,
i got to a hang rating, but never soloed
nor bought one of those, took too much,
interesting, but maybe Drones are like
that for me, now, though difficult to get to...
owning a WindSurfer (tm elsewhere),
(generic terms? BoardSailing?)
but had a car, a rooftop Thule rack,
on my late cousin's old Honda Accord,
renting a slip/slot locally on the river,
no where near the fun of the OuterBanks
North Carolina, on the bay side,
WindSurfing was an outdoor activity,
my dog didn't get out with me,
he was getting older, and likely left
at home a lot, too much...
Flying a little too, a coworker/ friend like
was an instructor and i had inherited a bit,
but used for school instead,
one path would have been to become a pilot,
take expensive lessons, but would not have
had enough to do both, without a college degree,
interesting, as flight simulators were the rage,
on WinBlows, and higher end workstations
Silicon Graphics Iris (iirc) a 3D workstation,
for a stopped project, still around, got to use
Unix like boxes, C Language, and different
than the high end stuff Symbolics in research...
Anyways, some outdoor stuff, a weekend
activity, giving me things to do when not working,
and bicycling to the local marina, but not much
wind on rivers, so long trips to further water,
took money, time, a car, with rack, etc...
a MotorCycle, dirt bike a Honda TLR200
or 250 (not sure, but not much, enduro
and too small for me, it seems,
Shriner, i used to call it and wore a business suit,
on that, not going very far to a corp job
that i didn't like, allergic to wool, corp mentality,
thinking i would be doing one thing,
but not that at all, reorganizations,
office moves, scrounging and
paying for parking, etc...
All after Research type stuff,
started with before graduation
HighSchool, it seemed, about then,
and having younger than me,
some supervisory like functions,
my first, and difficult to deal with other
people, as well as machines, technology,
and job stuff... Being young and not
familiar with military, as not discussed
though a family history of service,
World War(s), Korea, etc...
But mostly about death, destruction,
and loss, so some irony, for the parts
that are at all funny/ humorous,
gallows humor, and depressions got
worse, along with grief,
but some resources to continue,
school, was one goal, to continue on,
my parents Ph.D. i was struggling
to finish a bachelors, having left school
at coop time, in an engineering program
originally going for Computer,
not getting the 3.5 GPA to get in that,
as a transfer, and then another chance,
and then Electrical, and just going
not as interesting nor good as Computer
Science while a competing journaling,
writing, theatre, and social things
besides sailing, and a dog left with my
father, who was getting remarried,
as i left for school, strained as grades
were not good, girlfriend(s) not working
out, cut my thumb badly on a table saw
not going back home during the summer,
staying at college, but left that too,
then back to college with a
first car, seized engine, finishing a summer
working on replacing that, cheaper than renting
to own a car, first year, no car,
snow, freshman problems,
not much weather for driving,
and learning that on top of the other demands
of FreshMan, SophMore,
and some failing, stuff, originally high school
was demanding and AP like,
plus outside stuff, Computer Science
Fynmann's (sp?) Lectures on Physics,
Infinitesimal Calculus/ Math(s),
and other Glory Days
high school stuff, lettering in sports,
but not the usual popular ones,
though several, so multiple letters,
though socially inept...
Anyways, some success is a feedback
loop to do more, and easier, like planing
on boats, surfing/ wind wise,
and carryover stuff makes it easier,
while in the DullDrums (sp?)
SurvivingTheDullDrums2020
difficulty getting past some things,
the loss of relatives, job change(s)
not getting the program i wanted
Computer Engineering,
while had Computer Science to fall
back on, had chosen the higher/
more difficult hardware
with no real home experience with
it, apartment / townhouse living
not much mechanical/ practical
design, development, etc...
Waves water and progress,
sometimes is circular, and
feedback, like other systems,
negative feedback loops
on microphones, gets nasty,
reverb is one thing,
but other names/ problems,
goes out of control...
Second order functions,
and derivatives and math
has some similarities,
logic, etc...
YMMV

Memorial Day is one Day,
This year, and a Weekend
though means a lot to some
mostly who have served directly,
others have family/ dependents/
kids out in harms way,
on the medical front, war torn areas,
Iraq,Iran/Afghanistan, etc...
Seasonal
MemorialDay opens Summer
though technically it's later in June
starting after the Solstice,
equinox, and other astronomical
things...
interest in some stuff,
gets too warm, for me,
start a base tan/ burn
really and then other problems
of heat, and stay in,
get near water, cool off,
etc... Back when i had a life,
the normal(ish) ones
others may be more familiar with...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
So not a lot, TV with WorldWar Roosevelts
distracting
and not the clarity and purposefuly writing
as hoped as started, not gotten to this
in a while, machine issue booting
upgrading, and clarity missed the point
a bit, but something,
and maybe clean up and present
better, other demands, and down time,
risks with JustSayNoToConVid2020
ToWhomItMayConcern2020
and other stuff...

What about general holidays?
Beginning and ending?
Starting something?
