I start out every morning with prayer.

And Portuguese!

Great Friday morning: RECORDING! Astonishing how much I love to hear myself talk!

I transferred the files from my Sony PCM-M10 recorder to my computer. And release Verbal Surgery -455- “Minimum Underdrive!” Simple ideas. Continual progress. MASSIVE RESULTS! Just click on the title and GROOVE!.

I listen to this while I’m in the car. I’m practicing producing the sound of the language. I’ve found I have to smile and work my lips more in order to get the correct intonation.

I’ve been reading “Emotions: the Secret Life of the Brain” by Lisa Barrett. Here’s a screen shot.

Ashley brought Penelope over around 2pm. We kept her over night. Always a blessing!

When she rests, I study.

On Safari!

We took her for some country cooking at M&J!

Went to the park to let her explore all the climbing stuff. We go at night when it’s cooler.

She slept pretty well. I let her take too long a nap (About three hours!). She woke up at 2am and stayed up till about 4:30am. I’m firm with her about going back to sleep, but she can really get upset. If I give in at that point, I’ve just taught her to keep doing it. We watched some King Julien on Netflix. I found out that it can do Brazilian Portuguese subtitles which also helps me learn.

We got up around 8:30am. Kathy watched her while I went back to bed. Feel great after another couple of hours of rest. Thanks, K!

Catching up on my admin duties now.
