We're deep in the re-planning and re-scheduling phase at work. Today was basically seven meetings, all marginally interrelated. Progress was made, both toward the goal and toward the clarity that the project needs. I have my fingers crossed that we are going to pull something a bit more civilized out of it.
It has been one beautiful summer day after another here. I am especially fond of the mornings. I woke this morning to the calls of wild geese in the hour before dawn. I slipped out of bed and stood at the open window and watched them winging through the sky. From there trajectory I think they were circling to land at Starbird Park about a half mile away. The scent of dawn, a soft breeze, the call of geese - beauty unfolded within beauty.
Dinner tonight was chicken and coleslaw, a good choice on a warm summer eve. I spend most of the evening watching a part of guilty pleasures off the DVR - "Haunted Highway" and "Destination Truth", both from the SyFy channel. I love it when the casts manage to scare themselves silly.
I am not sure what I am going to do tonight - I am deep in reading Orson Scott Card's new novel - "Earth Unaware (Formic Wars)". I am about halfway through and it is quite enjoyable. I have Dean Koontz' "Odd Apocalypse" stacked up after it. Good reading all in all. I love this time of year.
"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)
