… L and M were over to dinner last night… i cooked… we had a good time… i drank more than i should have but don’t seem to be hung over in any substantial way…

… dogs and bird chorus got me up… we didn’t walk them just before bed so they had business to do…

… kitchen a mess, stuffed the dishwasher and turned it on…

… supposed to be sunny today, will we go to the beach?…

… i have been thinking about the need to have adventures, i will get busy planning some when we return… Block Island is nice but it is not an adventure, it is more a routine part of the year…

… news that is J in the hospital, i will need to call J and C…

… Biden meets with Putin today… the world waits (with baited breath?)… my readings have caused me to consider the possibility that Biden/Harris are a brief pause to a trend, that the slide to authoritarianism has been briefly halted and could easily return… the rest of the world will be uncertain about what’s next too…
