I woke to JINDAL in all caps on the front page of the Times Picayune. A new governor. As long as he doesn’t start preaching about morals, I hope he does something to improve the status quo in our government. Next I saw TL walking around the bayou, he got about 700+ votes for Councilman At Large – I don’t think I know 700+ people to vote for me, so not bad out the gate.
I voted to make this Lazy Sunday – no agenda – nothing absolutely to do. The dogs and I did our routine walk and then after a nice breakfast of black tea and chrysanthemum (it’s cooling for your insides) and oatmeal, I got on my bike and headed to the lakefront for a long, solo ride. Two and a half hours later, I returned a better person.
Some catch up on work, email perusal and purge, I went to take a long hot soak in the bathtub and ended up in there for about almost an hour – I was lost in thought, reading and listening to Jessye Norman sing Four Last Songs by Strauss. Then it was all the piddling stuff – dirt devil the dusty ceiling fans, laundry, sorting piles and making lists, Sunday paper, and one TIVO’d episode of Gray’s Anatomy.
It’s all good – inside and out.
