We had weird weather for a few days: constant wind and rain, a Kona low weather front. Winds come in from the west. It was cold and damp all day- unpleasant.
I had a lunch date with Mindy and Zola. We were to meet at a restaurant in town. Given the weather, I dreaded the event. All the restaurants in Kona are open-air; none are closed to the outside world and airconditioned. I anticipated being comfortable in the cold, damp air. I called Zola to check her thoughts on the weather's impact on our luncheon date. We decided to go ahead. We would meet at Foster's Kitchen, where Judy and Howard celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary.
The weather was fine. It was warmer by the shore than it had been one thousand feet higher where I live. I had a great time with my two friends. I ordered a hamburger. I miss Annie's Burgers like mad. They were the best. I keep trying other places. Foster's is a high-end restaurant. The hamburger was lousy-tasteless.
I had sessions with Mama K's crew and Adolescent D when I got home. I only met with Twin E. The other two had fallen asleep. These kids get up very early and are exhausted when they get home from school. She completed the first two Fry Sight Word Lists. This is a milestone. Her mother heard her read the list and was amazed.
I continued working with cross-body blending with Adolescent D. We do one word a day of his choice. He generally picks one-syllable words. The exercise is still hard for him. He picked the word city today. He struggles to separate words into individual sounds and blend those sounds back together.
In Amazon's Professor T, the titular character says extroversion is a sign of sociopathology. One of the people he applied the term to was a socially hostile person with an anger management problem. It made me wonder about his definition of extroversion.
I didn't see a pattern. I do believe introverts do see extroverts as pathological.
