When the Zoom call-tone blared in my study, I was certain my son was calling an hour early because the sun was not yet appearing.

It was 7:15 AM, alright, just very overcast with that look of impending rain. Sure enough, as I was feeding the dogs at 8:00 AM, the rain began; however, it is to be short lived and I am ensconced at my favorite space on the deck, beneath overlapped umbrellas, eating bagels, drinking coffee, and typing away while continuing to listen to BULLY PULPIT which I’ve discussed in previous blog posts.

I’ve an outdoor activity that commences in about 90 minutes and it appears the rain showers will have completely moved out by that time.

I felt fine but the heat and humidity, and my stubborn insistence to not turn on the AC because, “it’ll break in a bit,” made sleeping uncomfortable and fitful. I doubt too many calories were spent on tossing and turning.

I need to tackle a few things around the house and throw shirts into the washer and keeping an eye on the sky.`

Make it a great day!
