I had a haircut today and had plans to go to Ulu Wini to tutor afterward. If I had gone home, I would have had to turn around and head out almost immediately. I was exhausted. Haircuts knock the stuffing out of me. Instead of going home, I drove to the Ole A, the old Kona Airport, pulled into one of the parking spots, set my alarm on my phone, pushed the car back, locked the doors, and went to sleep.
I saw five students in two hours today. If you wonder if this makes a difference, the answer is yes. Each time I work with a student, something happens. As with the rich and the poor, the rich get richer much more quickly than the poor. Some students are so low it’s comparable to jump-starting a stalled car. While the car's speed isn’t great as you roll a few feet, there is a huge difference between being at a dead standstill and even that bit of movement. With many of the students, it’s just that bit of movement. It’s not much, but it gets them off in the right direction.
Darby was floating on air when we walked tonight. Patrick’s CAT scan came back clear - totally clean. Yay!
