cloudfield

On the airplane yesterday, a Southern California mountain rose from the clouds as if the clouds were a white landscape, and the mountain an island. I wished I was standing on the treeline, just above the mountain, so that I could see the cloud from just above. On the flight back today, the swollen creeks cut through green fields, symbolic of something, evocative of everything.

I'm eager to get things done, to accomplish chores on my to-do list, and to make long-neglected health appointments. I'm ready to be ahead of the curve, and not slightly behind.

I'm an attorney, but for many years, my practice has included cases in both Texas and California.
It's funny to have a two state practice in such different places, and it makes for a lot of travel, but it's been interesting as well.

Have you seen

Mt. Rainier?

I've only seen Mt. Rainier from afar; I've never gotten to go up close. We did a vacation near Mt. Hood a couple of years ago; it lacks the majesty of Rainier, but it still is amazing to see people on snow skis in August.
