Summer 2010 so far = Lessons Learned







Summer so far = lessons learned,

some days, the angle of the sun on dog and me is harsh - like punishment

dog is learning to drink from a defrosting bottle of water I carry.


when listening to the debate about those who prefer snow to heat,

heat to 6 feet
i think emphasis on the extremes
is too extreme.

lesson learned always use a thumb drive when working on highly treasured docs. you never know when technology will betray you

lesson learned:

dog abhors flea treatments = daily ritual, me having to seek the occasional one or two roaming
through the range of her coat.She's giving me the eye now, wondering when I'm going to brush her, growling at me under her breath.

lesson learned:
living in close proximity to a liquor store is not the best of all options.
these days the chronically unemployed gather in small packs at ten - brown bags in hand,
manage to keep going
all day. neighbors complain, few dig in to pick up the trash
-try to get the bottles
before they become broken glass. Some days the unease is palatable.

Summer fruit - berries, melons, peaches, plums, mangoes = my new love affair.


lesson learned: things won't ever be the same

some days I see like everyone else
some days I see.
