A swift rain drove through the valley this morning and returned the mugginess of the previous morning. The sky is overcast and feels heavy with rain which my body and sinus predicted. The rain is expected just as I am to leave the park so my umbrella is packed.

I am still a bit sad about the passing of David McCullough, my favorite author, biographer, historian, storyteller, and speaker. His voice is so soothing but very reassuring and guiding as he escorts us through history. What a legend.

Although it is Tuesday it is my Friday and the start of my eleven day break from teaching beginning tomorrow. I will have a few days at the park but will try to maintain some adventure-time. However, I look forward to uninterrupted research and writing time.

There’s really not much to report so I guess I will move on with my day and get ready for my jaunt through the park.

Make it a great day!
