Ten.One Thousand, Eight Hundred & Thirty-One

1. Almost don’t want to do it.

2. Cool, cool morning. The kind of morning that reminds you that fall is coming. Except for today, it will still be almost 100 degrees.

3. I walk over to him to fix his posture; I find it all amusing. All those limbs and no flexibility.

4. The taste of coffee.

5. Palo santo and glass cleaner.

6. I sit outside and read a book in the quiet, waiting. Just waiting.

7. I stare out the open window as we head south down 29. A moment of perfection and gratitude for the sky and the silhouette of mountains, the trees, the clusters on the vine, the cool air blowing into the car.

8. A little piece of heaven. I would never leave.

9. Pretzel-crusted chicken. Indeed a good choice.

10. Can’t sleep.
