A Shock to the System

Today is my last "weekday" off. Monday starts school again. That means today I have to get started on my syllabi and figure out my schedule of office hours. But it's a beautiful day here, sunny and warm in the aftermath of a bad storm last night. I had lunch on my deck while a couple of hawks serenaded me. Now I'm going to go sit out there and read for a bit, or perhaps have a walk. And after that I'm going to nap on my deck. Work is still miles away. The fresh air and sun beckon. And away I go.
