2009.02.10 19:00 - Catching up and making plans

Tarmel Udimo was GOC tonight, and the comment are hers. When I arrived Pema, Corvi and Buddha were already there. Corvi and Pema were discussing pillows and that Corvi seemed to be sinking.

Corvuscorva Nightfire: I do? hmm.
Pema Pera: a tiny's cushion?
Pema Pera: for me at least you look shrunk deep into your seat
Corvuscorva Nightfire: hmmm
Pema Pera: ah, now you jumped back to normal size!
IPema Pera: who knows, SL and its mysteries . . .
buddha Nirvana: -.\
doug Sosa: hi all.
Pema Pera: Hi everybody!
Tarmel Udimo: hi all
buddha Nirvana: _/\_

I caught up with the auto logging process.

Tarmel Udimo: still not sure about auto logging do i touch now or at the end?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Hi, Buddha, Doug, Tarmel, Ms Popstar
Corvuscorva Nightfire: touch anytime.
Pema Pera: any time, Tarmel
Corvuscorva Nightfire: now or later is fine.
Pema Pera: may as well do it now
Tarmel Udimo: great done!
Pema Pera: clap clap clap!
Tarmel Udimo: grins at pema
Pema Pera grins back

I then made sure our newish visitor knew the ropes.

Tarmel Udimo: hi buddha have you been here before?
buddha Nirvana: Yes a few times now, thanks :)
Tarmel Udimo: okay so don't need a note card
Pema Pera: Buddha is meeting more and more of us by now :)
Tarmel Udimo: greetings :-)
Pema Pera: Eona, have you been here before?
Tarmel Udimo: ahhh didn't see Eona now i do... :-)
Pema Pera: please feel free to join us here
Pema Pera: anyone is welcome
Pema Pera: Eona is to your right in front, just outside the pavilion
Tarmel Udimo: yes hidden in the trees

I then went on to asking Pema about having more dialogue sessions in the hope that he'd say yes!

Tarmel Udimo: pema will you be doing any more sessions with Stim?
Pema Pera: if there is interest, sure
Tarmel Udimo: i think they were very dynamic sessions
Pema Pera: I sure enjoyed them :)
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
Tarmel Udimo: we all did
Pema Pera: since no one else volunteered for dialogues, I wasn't sure whether that was considered a good format . . .
ICorvuscorva Nightfire laughs..perhaps we are just a little intimidated by the goodness of yours and Stims.
Pema Pera: hahaha
Pema Pera blushes
Tarmel Udimo: hummm since I can't attend stim's session on thursday it would be good to have them again
Tarmel Udimo: and also because its Pab related it kind of kept the energy spinning around for another week
Pema Pera: what day would be best?
Tarmel Udimo: well for me any day except SL wednesday and thursday
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods to the group..must go...
Tarmel Udimo: they used to be tuesdays at 13:00 ?
Tarmel Udimo: leaving corvi
Pema Pera: We could do it on Mondays at 13:00 -- which is Stim's guardian slot
Corvuscorva Nightfire: fraid so.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: see you soon!
Tarmel Udimo: see you...
Pema Pera: bye Corvi!
Tarmel Udimo: quick
Pema Pera: that was a quick exit!
Pema Pera: would Monday 1 pm be okay for you Tarmel?
Tarmel Udimo: yes that would be good - tuesday 8:00am for me
Pema Pera: okay, I'll ask Stim. This coming Monday I'm traveling and out of internet contact, but the week after that we could start
Tarmel Udimo: is that the 23rd?
Pema Pera: yes
Tarmel Udimo: great!
Pema Pera: :)
Tarmel Udimo: time to put Stim back on the spot ;-)
Pema Pera: :-)

Pema then wanted to make sure our vistor was okay, the lights were on but no one seemed to be home.

Pema Pera: Buddha, have you gotten a chance to play a bit with our 9-sec explorations?
Tarmel Udimo: buddha?
Tarmel Udimo: still with us?
Pema Pera: in nirvana, I guess . . . .
Pema Pera: all extinguished
Tarmel Udimo: smiles
Tarmel Udimo: enjoying the emptiness

Then we were joined by Steve and Doug, but also lost Pema to a tunnel.

stevenaia Michinaga: hello
Tarmel Udimo: hi steve
Pema Pera: I will soon have to leave -- hi Steve!
Pema Pera: I'm in the train between Princeton and New York
Pema Pera: and soon we'll enter the tunnel under the Hudson
stevenaia Michinaga: yes pema, I have that affect

Pema Pera: :-)
Tarmel Udimo: heading to or away from ?
stevenaia Michinaga: that tunnel is sucking the expansion of rail to the west
stevenaia Michinaga: but that's another story
stevenaia Michinaga: (western NJ)
Tarmel Udimo: and how is your goal going doug - to be the light :-)
doug Sosa: its my yang side.

doug Sosa: no plan.
stevenaia Michinaga: wonders about goal
