Everything's getting close...

Up early, but not as early as I thought. The days are getting shorter. Woke at 5:30 but would have sworn it was half an hour earlier, judging from the light. Anyway, at the keyboard early.

Worked well until 7:30, then sat out on the front porch having a cup of coffee and watching the hawks play. Young M came late, but in a happy mood. We messed around in the garage a while discussing power tools, then went off grocery shopping. Had a nice time all day.

Jack was very sweet, too. Said he had a “good idea,” and why didn’t we move to Pittsburgh, too. Man. These next couple of weeks are gonna rip our hearts out.

Just need to keep our eyes forward and do what we can do.

One N story left in the queue. Gonna have to read it one more time before making up my mind to push it forward. A lot to admire about it, but one or two jarring bumps I’ve had a difficult time making my way around.

Raining. Big storm moved in fast at day’s end. Wonder what it’s like in Wyoming.
