1. Vernon B., 35+ years in Alanon, 83 years on the planet, and another guru of sorts.  I once came across him once standing in the middle of a busy sidewalk admiring a blooming cherry tree in Trinity Churchyard.
2. I’m not in jail and haven’t been framed.  (I just saw Gone Girl.)
3. Socks.  I feel like I should go sockless just because it’s summer, but they felt so good this evening.
4. That piece of machinery outside, whatever it is, that sounds just enough like crickets for me to imagine that there are crickets chirping.
5. Hot water, again.  I was feeling down this afternoon and took a bath and felt better.  I can’t count how many times that had been the case in my life and I am grateful.

Many thanks,

Me
