Hola freinds.. I’m writing on about 4 hours of sleep and struggling to stay awake. We left the boat this morning around 6:30 and drove through the day back to VT> thanks to my rooted droid I now have a good internet link.. so I was able to work the whole way down and back as diane drove..  On top of a wonderful visit to see max, It was a productive set of days..

Even so.. the trip has me worn out.. I used to be able to run on little sleep.. now I get kind of sad when I’m sleep deprived.  During a lull between meetings  today I found myself thinking about the changing moods of the world.. I was thinking of writing down all the bad stuff that happened near us in April (Dylan’s passing most of all).. but then stopped … . A bit later I as thinking of a rash of good things I’d noticed goign on in the world.. nothing major.. just encouraging signs.. I was tempted to think of this as a positive and much needed sea change.. a turn of luck.. but then checked myself.. Why ? Was I afraid of tempting fate ? …  Not that, not really.. Instead, I came to the conclusion that  there’s always good and bad happening around us.. sometimes one dominates our attention.. sometimes another.. but they exist in more or less equal amounts..   good comes to bad, bad comes to good.

Just then I heard the weather report for tomorrow..   showers to the south of route 2, cloudy to the north of route 2.. .. a perfect metaphor I thought as I headed straight down route 2 towards home..

nite all, nite sam
