Beautiful day to hang sheets

Sheets I hung out today. They went right back on the beds. Mmmmmmm. Sweet dreams.

Cast of Characters
I will talk about people and you need to know who they are.
Anne, Paul, Kathy and Andy are my kids.
Jacob, Andrew, Jimaine, Jessica, Philip, Joe and Jonathan are their kids.
If you, the reader, are any of the above—you already know that.
Craig and Derek are brothers and Marines and also distant cousins of mine. I write to both of them.
Jeff is another Marine and I write to him, too.
Other names come up regularly and I'll try to identify them as I go along.

My Apologies to the Red Sox
Last June I told Craig and Derek that the Red Sox would start the slippery slope to oblivion right after the All Star Game because that's what they always do. The Red Sox have made a liar out of me—so far. No predictions for the post season.

Weather Predictions
There are several birds that never summer over in my back yard but are back here 2 months too early. Titmouse, chickadee, nuthatch and goldfinch are around in abundance. Usually they show up around the 1st of October. It is not unusual for a titmouse to sit on the outdoor thermometer next to the kitchen window, looking in, as if to say, "Well. Where is the bird feeder?" It is my sense that this winter will be snowier and colder than last year. I've heard the Old Farmers' Almanac predicts the same thing. I don't pay them any mind—unless they happen to agree with me. I hope my weather prediction is as good as my Red Sox predict. I bought cool weather bike riding clothes based on last winter. So I suppose it's going to be all my fault?

Tomorrow's Bike Ride
The Central CT Bicycle Alliance is sponsoring a Bike/Walk Hartford tomorrow. You know I'm not walking! The bike ride is a choice of 10 miles or 25 miles. I've signed up for the 25. My biggest concern is the heat and high humidity. As a preventative measure (preventing passing out) I'm tanking up on Gatorade tonight. I will bring another bottle with me tomorrow and, combined with my pediatric electrolyte solution, I should be fine. The result will be in my blog for tomorrow.

Breakfast at Charlie's
The first Friday of each month finds a group of wholistic practitioners convening at Charlie's Restaurant in Vernon for networking. This morning marked the 5th anniversary of this particular gathering. The energy was incredible! I don't remember ever having that much good energy flowing. And, the word for the day is: SYNCHRONISTIC. Have you noticed a lot of synchronicity in your life lately?

What Am I Doing With Wholistic Practitioners?
Enjoying their company, of course.
