Autumnal Equinox
Today is the autumnal equinox.
“Autumn has caught us in our summer wear.”
–Philip Larkin, British poet
There are Halloween decorations in the grocery store already, and it’s not even Labor Day yet. I’m old enough to remember when we would wait for the season to celebrate the season.
Beginning my second year of retirement. Still happy not to be in the classroom. In some states, it’s downright scary being a teacher. That’s why so many have left the profession.
With four days left of the Dog Days of summer, the sight of a beautiful fountain is wonderful and refreshing.
I got my bike back from the shop today and took it for a spin right away. The cardiologist this morning reviewed the results of the month-long heart monitor: atrial fibrillation (AFib). That explains the fluttering in my chest. No restrictions on exercise, so off I go.
I finally got my bike to the repair shop. I was wearing a heart monitor for a month. Now it’s time to do some real cycling.
Weird bike – I just can’t quite figure it out. It has a wooden storage box with the logo AUGIE’S COFFEE on the side, plus a kickstand, which I wish my bike had.
