Decades of history - a personal landmark
Highlights: Another day, another blur. In the moment, some parts can seem to drag on forever, while in hindsight, it's just a blink of an eye. What holds true for life applies to every day of it, too. Tommy and I had coffee at TGB in LG. I'm always on guard as he's likely to feel the same about me. It was a healthy and positive time. At one point, as I listened to his take on a few things and heard a maturity in his voice, the adult became more apparent. Perhaps this change was within himself or my perspective, while most certainly both. I enjoyed the history and memories but had better coffee waiting at home. I managed to roast up Jess's 1lb order (oooooh… my third paying client!), but only after two passes with a prior formula to the second and degree that wasn't the right end result. I dialed it in, and those "off" are perfect for others, just not light enough for this target. I booked our family outing for Saturday – Roaring Camp. I got season passes for Jen and me, as it's something we will certainly do with the pups or other family and friends over the course of the next year. I used initials like G.T. and J.L. Mitchell so we could use them between two of the four of us with ease. Mark finished Tex and shared heartfelt praise, which I forwarded to Steve and felt his sincere appreciation. It's gratifying, inspiring and intimidating all at once. Jen's still recovering from a cold. I've stayed clear,. This is Day 2 in the guest room. I'm not a fan of the idea as a long-term move, although both dogs appear to be campaigning hard. I'm outnumbered and out-charmed.
Insight: Tommy's statement over coffee was brilliantly dualistic. "No alcohol is good for you". He's right in both cases. It isn't, and its absence has been.
