The days here are very distracting. Today I tried to get outside on the new patio under an umbrella with my computer but a meeting sort of erupted and grew and it was a “social” discussion about food and fat and current events and politics and I finally quit for dinner, no time to write. So here I am now, in the evening and what have we learned today?

I’ve learned that one of the residents shares my passion for pasta with broccoli and pesto. I’ve learned the surnames of two of my some-times dinner mates. I’v learned what you already knew, that I am terribly distractible and not disciplined.

But I’ll be back tomorrow and I’ll be better.

I hope.
