A breath (or two) of fresh air...

Good night’s sleep. Up a little later than usual (but before seven) and at the keyboard most of the morning.

Got in three FaceTime sessions with Jack and Matt, but still managed some pretty good output with the new novel.

Took off for the gym a little after one, then home again to pick up some fishing gear at Pro Bass Shop followed by a trip downtown to Terra Verde to get the boys and advent calendar. (A nifty wooden sculpture of a snowy toy shop. Open a door, it plays a carol.)

Weather came back to respectability to day. Blue sky, soft autumn sun. Cool temps. Wish the rest of the west was doing as well. Fires still blazing out of control all along the coast.

Grilled cheese and soup tonight.

An early rise tomorrow. Maybe a walk to the park to jog the stairs again, now that the smoke has pulled back. We’ll see.
