I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Elder Rune: Wunjo: Joy, pasture, happiness attained with the fulfillment of a wish, the strong Clanic relationship, social contacts, family ties, Clanic solidarity, fellowship, happiness, optimism, realization of true will, social and domestic harmony, good cheer, new social relationships, Fridu attained within a secure setting, a bright attitude of Wotan exposed.
Conversely:
Sadness, disruption/breakdown in the Clanic relationship, questionable social contacts, loser, miserable, loneliness, shunning, weakened family/Clanic ties, social and domestic disharmony, the inability to attain a wish, strife, alienation, pessimism, failed social relationships, Fridu is challenged, the shadow/dark side of Wotan is exposed.

Armanen Rune: Not: 
Havamal 152.
An eighth is mine, to all the Folk
Useful to know in their suffering;
Where hatred rises-up between man and man,
This I can settle fast.
 
Distress, compulsion of fate, separation, confrontation, strife settled, understanding suffering, settled calm, mind over matter, necessity of fate, misery and death, change of luck as necessity, decision of the Wurtâ, Wurt/Urlag paid-for, cause-effect relations, capability to restructure Wurt/Urlag, That which cannot be averted, the Ur-law that is active in every creature, stress, karmic debt, karmic need, but with outlook for change of karma, banishing ill fortune by means of accepting karma and karmic law, Skuld, Divine justice that balances.
“Use your fate, do not strive against it” (List, 55).

Interpretation: Joy (Wunjo) leads to marriage (Not).
*GODS, I sure hope so.

1st check on all fur-kids
<> 
Outcome: good 6 ½ hours of sleep
<> 
Quick good morning chat with My Sorcha.
<> 
Heluva long visit @ the Urology Group only to be prescribed Viagra.  I’ll try it, I guess.
*call into My Sorcha
*10:30 appointment and didn’t even see a doctor until NOON?  WTF is it with that?
<> 
Lunch @ McDs
Another call into My Sorcha
<> 
No time for strength training
<> 
One of my better nights @ work.  Nothing hot in the shop.  Not much @ all in trim/drill/layout.  Shaper table load is backing-up, so I just ran what the hel ever I felt like running on the shaper.
*refused overtime…too much to do to get ready for Portland@.
*well hel, I got my first quality memo, which is just short of a write-up.  It’s almost like it’s an unwritten rule to have SOMETHING negative in writing in one’s record.

Last check on all fur-kids.

Shower, bed, nighty-night.

God/dess Meditation: Wotan; Alle-Vater god!  Wandering god!  Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wotan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter.  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, Wotan, 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, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
