Pam and I are in the Adirondacks for a few days of quiet. Maybe too quiet.  I miss the ruckus of our 8 cats and 4 dogs.   Precious, Obadiah, Nikita, Musia, Bella, Magdalena, Tallulah, Pachi, Jules, Guinevere, Cho, Liam.  I am not a minimalist in this regard.

On the other hand, this morning’s canoe and then long hike to the dam along the river was delicious.  Something we do not do at home.  Again, those cats and dogs.  Diving into the silence, the stillness is hard and good.

Pam read this post by Jon Katz to me this morning.  I am going to print it and read it every day.  Thank you Jon.  Thank you Pam.
