weekend notes

recap:

• good eats:  spinach lasagna, spaghetti carbonara, beef stew, chocolate, bacon egg burritos, ad hoc
• camping / motorcycles:  despite forest fires to the north and south of the bay, matt managed to find a spot out in mendicino national forest.  nice to be outside.  nice to spend time with matt. 
• we wandered onto private property, and long-haired man on atv, with a gun in his holster yells at us. "who the hell are you?  we get poachers, we get people trying to grow dope."  his partner shows us pictures of a bear.  "maybe i didn't do the right thing, but i've got a pet that could kill you, and i don't want the rangers killing my pet.  it's dangerous to be walk around here."

thinking about:

• how i've started prioritizing who i want to spend my time with.  i don't like it very much;  i want to think that i can care about everyone, that my friends aren't a zero-sum game.  time is so limited though, and i often feel like i don't have time for people i already know and for myself.
• the art of storytelling.  when is it appropriate to take so much attention, who we tell our stories to, what makes a story compelling?
• what i want to accomplish in the next five years.  work- and life- wise.
