It’s a bit chilly on this last Saturday morning of May 2022. I was on the deck drinking coffee with my studio manager, Rita, both of us bundled in blankets to tidy up the summer schedule. Bless Rita, she brought a dozen Bill’s Donuts!!!

I will leave the house at 11:30 AM via Bus No. 17 for my stroll in the park. I’ll arrive at 12:10 PM and take lunch in the eagle-watching area before starting my shift at 1:00 PM. I’ll rush home by 7:10 PM and will greet former student, Alex Loree, to attend the Steve Martin & Martin Short comedy time at Fraze Pavilion, the tickets courtesy of Sherrie & Jim Weyrauch. The last time I saw Steve Martin at The Fraze was July 2013 and I was with Alex’s older brother, Michael.

Yesterday morning I mowed, trimmed, and tidied the entire yard within 35 minutes before showering to head to Neon Movies with Laura to catch 1:30 PM showing of THE DUKE on its repeat engagement. A bonus was seeing Carol Chatfield and finally having the pleasure of meeting her husband, Charlie.

I had not felt gut-well since Thursday night but by 4:30 PM Friday I felt better and headed to a favorite dining haunt and a quick visit to Walmart before jumping back on the bus to head home. I finished some business items and was nestled in bed with a book on Charles Kettering and The Sisters. The last clock-time I recall seeing was 9:20 PM. The rest was snooze history.

I’m resting in bed until 10:30 AM when it will be time to prep for work. I’m snuggly accompanied by Bailey.

Make it a great day.
