I can type a bit while my soup cooks. I love adding cilantro to anything, this 14 bean soup with smoked ham,garlic,cilantro,onions,tomatoes smells great. It will be great to tote along to work tomorrow. Normally in at 3 on Thursdays to start the weekend, I am going in by 10am to take some kids to the doctor.
Approximately a week ago- it would have been Tuesday I think, I got my bike tires filled for some autumn riding. Since then it has snowed 3 times. I had no clue.
Yesterday when I was riding I wanted to pack my bike into the car and ride around during my 4 days at work, now I need to pack my feather quilt in the car and plan for a possible camp out in my office with BBC and not much sleeping.
Going to the dentist today @ 7am threw off my schedule, but at least I made it to the bookstore and home before I crashed. Now it is midnite and I think the soup should be ready.
I rang up my Dad today, on the hospice program. He swam until less than a year ago, a 79 year old man doing laps for years and years after retirement, going to the YMCA each morning. He walked to work his whole life, now his heart is at 30% capability and he rides along on each outing with my brother and his family, in Wisconsin, who wouldn’t.
Soon it will baseball playoff time, my old traveling time, glorious 900 miles back home to Chicago. Even sooner my soup will steam to nothingness. It is a good autumn night, full of adventure most of the 24 hours.
