AFTERMATH
After a week of convention attention and gawking at the spectacle of the May-December ticket on the other side, it is time for a rest.
We had a friend visit this weekend. A nice pause.
The weather has been messy.
We are still getting pieces of old hurricanes. Julio broke up on the Yucatan coast last week and spewed on us and the hurricane that flooded Florida did the same on the Gulf Coast later in the week. So we are getting 'imbedded' pieces of humidity and, yesterday, some heavy rain in the morning.
It is all supposed to clear today.
I hope so.
Labor Day is a non event here. Another day without mail.
I will not be following the 'other convention' this week. I have had enough politics for awhile.
I will get stoked again when the debates start.
In the meantime, there is wedding stuff to worry about.
The invitations were sent out Friday and we have the first acceptances. I am wondering, of course, why everyone didn't call immediately upon receiving theirs yesterday.
But I will be patient.
I have been here before. I am the only one I know who will respond to every email, phone message or, yes, wedding invite the moment it arrives.
