August.

0531am. Hello August.

August is the February of Summer.
But I really should not complain about the weather this summer.
It was pavement-melting hot in early July, but I was in Canada.
That was luck. Not smarts.

Scared myself this afternoon. This is my right forearm? It looks like dunes in North Africa. When did this happen? How did this happen?

Wrestling with being old today.
I know it’s all about Accept and Adapt.
But damn, it’s hard sometimes.

I start asking questions.
Should I buy new shoes?
(Carlton bought new tennis shoes and died 3 days later.)

The DNR stuck on the door of the Old Bat Cave is no longer jarring.
I find myself taking the easier, softer way.

Carlton would know how to deal with this.
He would say: Make a gratitude list.

Grateful to have made it this far.
With most of my marbles.
