#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Oooh my hips are a little tight and sore tonight from today’s workout power walking and biking and then playing pickle. Cloudy and cool. I walked the track while the football team practiced and then the girl’s varsity soccer team practiced, five miles of fast walking. Enjoyed it. In the afternoon I went to the Lily Poetry Reading for the summer issue and read a poem with the other contributors. It was nice to see many faces I knew. Then Franci and Will wanted to play pickle after all and I was very happy about that and we had fun. They beat us 3 games to 2, but we fought hard. Then we spontaneously went out to dinner, the four of us and Perri and it was one of those nice nights when we all lingered around the table talking and talking. AI was a big topic, and a bit of politics and it was really good to share and listen to each other in thoughtful exchanges. Tonight, closed the windows. I can still hear the crickets and the jets crossing the sky. I wrote today some very very very rough notes for a new poem.
