Today’s Gift[s]
Wabooz was back this morning, not that you can tell from the picture. (He’s under the end of the flatbed.)
Two phone calls:
The second was from our Web host, saying that he thinks he’s fixed the problem that’s downed W’s business site since Thanksgiving.
The first (which apparently actually came yesterday, but I didn’t get until today) was from an old colleague, with an offer of occasional freelance gigs over the next two years.
Wabooz is a representative of Nanaboozhoo (in our belief system, a bit of a cross between Christianity’s Jesus and Adam, with a twist of trickster thrown in for good measure), and a symbol of the gift of knowledge that Nanaboozhoo imparted to the two-leggeds. For some bands, he’s also a clan dodem, with responsibilities for hunting and gathering (i.e., for feeding the people). I should have known that his appearance two days running (especially yesterday, so close) was an omen.
Life is good.
