Don't get around much anymore...

Do you hear the music to that tune? It is Children's Day, Cinco de Mayo (which is a Mexican celebration of a victory long ago), and my wife's birthday. I made the bed and turned on the dishwasher, she has a guest coming this morning at eight, so she has to finish cleaning before that. She is still recovering but duty drives her.

I finished the King Arthur tale, will have to go back to the End of Sparta. Bury meself in books, pretend that the world will be well or even better when I stick my head back up. It won't be, but it will also pretend that everything is fine. It could be that many of us glued to our entertainment devices (yes, books are an entertainment device) will all pop our heads back up at the same time, look around and start fixing what went wrong. But don't hold your breath waiting for it.

Until then, remember to go out and cut the grass, sweep the walks and clean the gutters, and hug your significant other - if you are alone, give yourself a big hug - we all deserve one for our better being.
