Tastes Like Summer

Polar Bear in Central Park

It was a long travel day yesterday after a great trip. We were held up in La Guardia for five hours when American had to find us a new plane. They discovered an oil leak before takeoff, and since it was a fuel pump leak they downloaded us back to the terminal where we entertained ourselves by watching TV and eating junk food. I'd rather that than crash!

When I got up this morning (late) I found my basket of peaches in a sad state. Instead of throwing the whole bunch in the trash I rescued the good parts and added them to my protein shake which made it taste like summer, a season that's fast fading. It's still warm in Dallas, but leaves are breaking free of branches, and summer flowers are turning to seed.

First thing I did this morning was load up both printers, so I'm totally back to work.

Well, I am back to work, but at a more relaxed pace. My inspiration is the photo above, of a polar bear at the zoo in Central Park yesterday morning. This big fella was swimming in circles. Under the water, breaking the surface, then falling backwards with a splash, and circling around again. I think he was grinning with delight. I know I was. There's a lesson for me there, I know it.
