Hiya.

There are a dozen or so birds outside flitting about chasing one another and a round little grey cat in the window who is very interested in their flitting and pining to get in on the chasing.

Been sipping coffee with a pour of milk, baking blueberry muffins, and listening to my favorite Joni Mitchell album medium loud this morning.

Lately I've been feeling kind of off and working too much and dreaming about vacations.

Now there are some stinky boy bike riders waiting to have Mexican breakfast (the muffins, I think, are already goners) and yelling at Le Tour de France on the tele.

There is perhaps another cup o' joe in order and then I need to spend the day trying to get a handle on neglected domestic duties.

We've been having an unusually mild summer here in central Texas and if anyone is interested I know a place you can stay for a very reasonable rate.

Xxoo.
