Solved today’s Wordle and laughed out loud. This word has been one we’ve said too many times over the last week during some unfortunate screwups down at the new house.
Picked up a used copy of Songdogs by Colum McCann, now my McCann library is almost complete. Will read this in a couple of months. 📚
Spring day, sky is blue
Redbuds bloom along highway

Just finished reading: The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid 📚 Such a beautiful story. The racial plot was though provoking, the descriptions of the emotions that the characters have in their various relationships were insightful. I needed to read this book at this time and at my age.
Red-tail hawk near the farmers market with hectoring jays and mockingbirds.
Chilly morning visit to the Carrboro Farmers Market to get more bloodroot for the forest. At $5 a pot, quite the bargain, and vendor brought them at my request. Love our market!
Found in the woods this morning.
Taking a break from work to inventory the lumber we milled in 2019.
Always a joy to post an early spring photo of the bloodroot in bloom.
Solitude is an empty gravel road to walk along when checking the mailbox.
Up early this morning, well before the usual 6:30 a.m. alarm. After my shower, decided it was a good day to wear the Reyn Spooner Hawaiian shirt. Hope the weather cooperates.
And now a second post to test Dave’s updated script for publishing to Micro.blog from Drummer.
Updated the public link to this microblog.opml file in Drummer and gave Micro.blog the new url . Let’s see if this post goes through.

I’ve tuned into the Champions League early, and Thierry Henry and a couple of other guys are talking and explaining and demonstrating. Brilliant. This is both entertaining and enlightening.

Out of the ortho urgent care and back home, having learned a new phrase: medial gastrocnemius strain.

A perfect morning for playing soccer with the guys. I was playing well, but then got kicked in the calf and hobbled home. Sister-in-law urged me to get to ortho urgent care to make sure I don’t need surgical repair. So that’s why I’m settling in for a 2 hour wait in the clinic.
Just finished watching The Swimmers, about Olympian Sara Mardini and Syrian refugees.
A sunny and warm start to this Friday, and the week’s work has made me feel good, but I’ve started the morning listening to Josh Ritter’s ballad Galahad to remind me of the perils of thinking too much of myself. 🎶
