Time for some grey skies and fresh breezes.<\/p>\n

Maybe a little Zen if the mood strikes.<\/p>\n

Great music to sing along to on the way.<\/p>\n

No one to bicker with me about what songs to play.<\/p>\n

Fantastic company when I get there.<\/p>\n

Nothing but good ahead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, “there” is just an illusion. Here is where we always are.<\/p>\n

Huh. The Zen kicked in early….<\/p>\n

Have a Saturday, y’all!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS :<\/p>\n

Last night was a celebration of the lovely Chelle’s birthday.<\/p>\n

Good food, great people. \u00a0The best people.<\/p>\n

Grateful? Me?<\/p>\n

A thousand times yes!<\/p>\n

Love you all….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
