  17.  
  18. Or whatever.  Here's what happened yesterday:
  19.  
  20. I wasn't feeling like a cool person.  I was tired.  I was down.  I was lonely.
  21. My wife had taken my Kid around the block and she was coming back when I got home,
  22. and she said I should take him around too.  I wasn't going to but then I thought,
  23. it'll probably make me feel better.  So I did.
  24.  
  25. And it did.  I felt much better coming home.
  26.  
  27. I thought about wsinatra and all them appreciating active listening, so I recorded it too.
  28.  
  29. PS. the kids around 2/3 of the way through all ended up just fine.]]>

  90.  
  91. it's about 11:30p.m.  i'm up late like i am a lot, to be honest, vibing.  i'm
  92. trying to think about how to make an index page in wikme with backlinks.  I
  93. guess really i'm thinking about how to implement backlinks.  i could use the
  94. name to index each page, sure, but how do i go through and actually add the
  95. backlinks? i must go through the list of pages again. should i keep a list of
  96. pages that are linked to in the <wiki> structure? hm. that could work.
  97.  
  98. like in <wiki>, have a wiki-backlinks field that is an alist.  yeah that's a
  99. good idea.

  101. thanks, active listening rubber ducky!]]>
