August 18

Goofy fix of a sub-optimal picture of Terry getting on the bus this morning. It was not yet full light. I got to work early and just worked all day. When I described my day at dinner, I described the lunch festivities for new faculty orientation that included pasta and chicken and vegetables and salad and deans and vice presidents and speeches and brownies. Having food right outside the office door was fine, but then sitting and listening to the intros was...long. Had a few nice conversations with people I'd not seen for a while before lunch, however. One man's two sons just took a month off work together so they could motorcycle across the country on the Trans-America Trail, which stretches from Tennessee to Washington state. We shared parental concerns over seeing one's children head out on a 5000 mile "dual-sport motorcycle adventure" of off-road biking, but they are safely returned. My colleague said he didn't know whether to be mad or jealous.

My day consisted of check-lists and crossing items off on after the other.

I was going to finish off the day visiting your photos, but the internet connection is too slow tonight...
the colour of lettuce. so soothing and calming in this hot humid weather.

This all looks very calming, even if your day wasn't exactly that!

It looks dreamy or a still from a dated film.

Nice bright and fresh air scene with the bus. My son disappeared regularly on motorbike trips! Its a wonder my hair isn't completely white!

I agree with Richard - compelling indeed! Especially those greens!
