I’m off to walk the Breeanator while it’s still dark and cool enough. Otherwise my skin will slough off my body as I chug along… Thankfully the days are getting shorter, though we haven’t really had our first front yet. There’s a marked difference in the air and I long for that barometer and thermometer switch that signals some brave arctic air has finally come south to winter along with the snowbirds.

Next summer I think I’ll break down and hire yard people do my back breaking labor for me and for the same reason I’ll be narrowing down treadmills to buy. Summers -unless one rises before daylight, like I did today- are just too much for me anymore. And I want to move back to Houston? Maybe I should rethink that…

Wow, a non-political post. How will I stand it?
