here's where we walked to church

another cool morning, wet with dew: 62 °F and 61 °F, dry bulb and dew point, respectively. and another altercation-free morning ride to work. either the motorists are becoming more mellow, or i am, or maybe even all of us.

i've been suffering from what seems like a post-vacation blankness of mind, or lack of imagination, or some such malaise. it is as though the adventures of this summer are now over, but the comforting routines of fall have not yet begun. in truth i know there are still at least a few adventures yet; i should also remember that the routines can flip and flop between comforting and confining. but still, i've been plowing through the days at work (mostly in a pitched battle with the toledo sewer system model and the "final alternatives") and doing next to nothing once home again. i need something!

hold that thought, crunchy bug...
