friday

An Adam Dalgliesh mystery, Arrowhead Park on Lake Lewisville in a town called Hickory Grove, a Lizst piano transcription of a Paganini violin piece on the radio, google searches to try to sort out an upcoming five days business trip to Pittsburgh, wild flowers, pollo al carbon, an "all-you-can-hear" download subscription from Magnatune.com, a brisk walk with two happy dogs, birds at the feeder, 70 degree weather, blooming wildflowers, e-mails and calls to friends and family, a little tinkering with a software synthesizer, photographs, memories, exercise, rest.

This weekend has promise.
