Today is Columbus day, and since I work for the government, I have the day off. I’m currently sitting in my backyard with my dog, and a diet coke, enjoying the sunshine and flicking bugs off my computer screen. I cooked an omelet for breakfast and drank some coffee.
My mind is pleasantly blank. I need a nail file. I wish it was five degrees cooler. I’ve decided the big old tree in our backyard is a sweetgum tree. I’m always amazed how low planes fly over your house when you live a quarter of a mile from the airport. I love how Briscoe loves to eat ice and chew on leaves.
Oh, and we have a ton of leftover beer. If I was any less disciplined, I would be tempted by the full cooler in my direct line of vision. Instead, I’m going to be healthy and go for a run somewhere pretty.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
