Another sinking sun and if I could only fly with Blaze.

 It was a nice cool day. Very rare in Tuscaloosa. I spend most of the day reading and writing, about secrets of the universe and ghosts around galaxies. It was a shame I couldn't get out and spend longer time outside. We walked a few times, as usual. I tried cooking beans in a thermos, again. This time it worked great. I am back to writing again and she is back to napping, just the moment she jumped up hearing neighbor's dog!

 I checked into the hotel.  My room is in the 10th floor and the elevator took me there in less than 3 seconds! All buildings around the hotel are tall. The city is big, not enormous but big enough. I noticed I haven't been in a big city and in a higher than 4 story building in a very long time. Suddenly every thing is under my feet, at least for a night. It rained a little as I was driving here. This is my favorite time of year. Cool weather, fresh grass, partly cloudy days.

 A full day of work, Finished grading ~90 assignments, walked to the department 3 times, and back home again.  Missing my bike, I have to replace the tires on my bike soon. A few good news and a few bad news, misery is still a conserved quantity. There is a tranquil sense of suspense in the air. The weather was fantastic, partly cloudy, nice cool wind, low humidity and singing birds. The new neighbor doesn't like cats nor dogs. Poor stray cats won't get any food anymore. Time is flying, like clouds, and the bitter, calm, freeing sense of not belonging; but such a lovely day, such a calm night.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. So busy lately. Work, not much progress, more of a discovery Mornings are cool and nice but it is getting warm and even hot again At least three more trips and interviews, I could have enjoyed them if it was in a different circumstance Reading desert solitaire, Edward Abbey, it's beautiful, poetic, feeling nostalgic Woke up today feeling differently. Must do something today, perhaps catch up with some work I haven't been able to finish lately.
