It's not even the weekend and I awoke early...what a strange situation! Loud claps of thunder and brilliant flashes of lightening awoke me early today. There is something peaceful and gentle about a fierce thunderstorm; as I lay in bed, under the covers, it felt good to know that the storm was in full swing outside, but I was tucked comfortably in bed and could have, if not for the call of the office, slept in for hours.
There's an unstable sky outside this morning, but I already see evidence the storms are passing. Grey & blue & white clouds, all sharply defined and intense, are moving across the sky, leaving clear, crip air behind. I've already been outdoors and the coolness of the morning is gratifying; if only it would stay this way I would be happy, but this is Dallas and the day will warm and the air will become steamy.
For now, though, the skies of Dallas are pleasing. The air is cool, the harshness of urban pollution has been washed from the sky, and all is right with the world of a geezer.
This may be the last blog for awhile, depending on the availability of Internet access from my notebook computer in Dubrovnik. I leave tomorrow morning for Boston, with my wife, to visit her sister...then, Sunday afternoon I board a plane for Amsterdam, changing there for a flight to Frankfurt, and changing there for a flight to Dubrovnik. Rush, rush, rush, with little time between flights. Would that I could do it in slow motion, saving myself the stress. But it will be fun, nonetheless. If I can blog from Dubrovnik, I will. If not, I will record my experiences on my hip-pocket notepad and will record my experiences on this blog upon my return.
