And Just Like That...August is Over. There Go the Sunday Concerts at the Walnut Pavillon. At Least We Have This Monday to Rest.

I was a good boy and did several reviews that were weighing on me, and I polished the last syllabus. Karal got a long walk and grilled some Hoffman's and headed to the beach for the last concert of the season. Gorgeous day of blue sky, nice temperatures, and fresh air. The Walnut Beach concert was packed. We have our area, set up, and made for a wonderful afternoon, including Rico who overcame crowds and noises to have a great time at the concert.

I labored less yesterday so I could labor more today (I know, it's Labor Day, but I have work to get done before Tuesday). Likely to be a front porch, computer-screen sprint for a day.

I hate when the dog days of summer slip quickly away, and the realization arrives that the colder months are ahead with less daylight to enjoy life. I see the leaves curling up for the drop. They know and I guess I have to know now, too. The Fall semester is here and I need to inhale for the circus. 

But I'm taking a walk. I'm not pushing it. It is what it is meant to be. I hope everyone is enjoying the extended weekend. They should always be this way.
