- On vacation and catching up on some much needed sleep and rest
- its nice to eat, sleep and rest when you want (mostly)
- there are still some chores and responsibilities that don’t go away
- but can’t complain really when I took a couple naps today
- between some minor chores and a run
- amazingly with all the rest and sleep and walking I seem to have lost some weight
- despite walking less than May’s 10 miles a day
- on my travels I was asked by a woman to take a photo of her friend and a dalmatian
- in front of a firehouse
- and if I was not certain earlier, her thick Australian accent came back, “Perfect!”
- as I asked if the photo came out OK
- my plants suffered during my last extended vacation, so I made it a point to remember to wander by regularly
- to water them
- and that strict mistress, the local librarian caused me to go into my office anyway
- to retrieve an overdue book
- this “staycation” isn’t so bad as I’m diving thru my reading, and may just get
- to the bottom of my reading list before I pay for that extra wing at the local branch of the NYPL
- Survivors Club was an interesting read
- as was Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven, which was a nice interlude back into the 80′s
- albeit in the backdrop of China and thru the eyes of an old schoolmate
- who probably doesn’t remember me from a hole in the wall
- and that expression doesn’t quite make sense having typed it
- but maybe someday I’ll look it up
- as I lay on the grass in Central Park and read to my heart’s delight
- I wondered how having a kindle would have made the experience better
- mostly it would have been lighter than the physical hardcover book
- and I would be able to do some annotation but not in the library book
- but taking a digital photo has been a good way to keep track of things
- yet not perfect enough yet
- didn’t do a full day of trading
- but might simulate tomorrow
- still the results are pretty good so far.
