I spent the day working on websites, trying to fix little technical glitches that keep every site from displaying perfectly in all browsers.

I won’t go into the problems, how I struggled with them and how I fixed them. I did fix them, well enough for now.

That’s tough for me. I’m OCD enough that I want everything perfect. When I fix a problem, I want it to be lovely and elegant, like higher math. And I want it to be fixed for all eternity. And I want people to throw flowers at me and weep at the loveliness of my fix.

But that’s not the way it works. I have to let go when things are fairly good.

So after my struggle, I took the dogs through the park in the dark, and threw a glow-in-the-dark ball for Jimi. I threw it far enough that at times that I couldn’t see Jimi or the ball.

In a couple of seconds he would race back from the darkness, white face first with the glowy green ball in his mouth. Each time was a little thrilling, because it would be completely dark and silent and, where is my dog? And then, there he would be.

Which was very good.
