Plans: work 10hrs
All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to
Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

Havamal 158.
A fourteenth I sing to the assembled Folk
When naming the divine names;
The Aesir and Alves and their various kinds
No one can spell out without learning.
Determination, Urlag; life fate and destiny, life as law, life following the
law, experience, test, temptations by life-circumstances, water, sea, good
management, test of life, school of the lives, relations, defeat and the laws of
nature, life and primal law, psychic & spiritual awareness, cosmic flow,
seeds of thought, the etheric part of the body, initiation that experiences life
on earth as a continuous process of initiation, The Cosmic Ocean.
Interpretation: Wisdom (Ansuz) leading to determination (Laf).
*Wodan’s Rune on Wodan’s Day…perfekt!
Outcome: It’s pretty cool out for a summer morning.
Good AM work
Stayed @ work for lunch…explored my newly discovered isolated area. It's pretty overgrown. I don’t worry much about snakes, but I do those dammed ticks.
Good PM work. Netherlands/Argentina match on ESPN radio. The announcers
have been asking, “Why have both trams saved their worst for the last?”
@ the half, 0-0
Home, on ESPN3.com
OMGs! At home, I see Toby in the back yard unable to get up. I RAN out from
the car to him. He had his front right paw caught up in his choke-chain. Poor

for wear (13th Warrior).
End of match, 0-0, on to extra time
End of first extra time, 0-0...on to the 2nd extra time

Yummy rice casserole with corn-on-the-cob
It’s an early-evening family front yard time in an effort to beat the mosquitoes. Socks hasn’t been in his House since early morning. Little wonder he was ready to eat rather than be with us.
I’m going to hold off watering the garden. It may rain overnight.
Nighty-night

PM Meditation: Scata, Winter goddess, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness. Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives. Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
PM Clarification Rune: none
Comments: cared for animals
