Another Fine Morning and Day

6:47

Up at 6:45, just as the sun was beginning to peak over the tip of Long Point, on its journey south towards the winter solstice.  It's 57 degrees, chilly enough inside that I put on a fleece, too lazy to get my Ugg boots. Nothing planned for the day, so it's wide open for a bike ride, hike, kayak paddle or boat ride.

Yesterday was an easy day and with Evie back from Las Vegas, the yard and garden took on a polished, almost spit shined look.  For most of the day while I dawdled, Evie worked in her garden, overgrown from neglect over the past few weeks of family visits and travek.  The cool weather here, in contrast to the 100 degree weather in Las Vegas, drew here outside for most of the day.  There is nothing like an early fall like day here at Lake Chautauqua.   I did drive to Wegman's, to stock up on a few perishables, setting us up for the week.  The rest of the day I helped out Evie as needed, read, and helped get dinner ready, not much effort, as I had made an eggplant pasta the night before.

We began where we left off with the TV series, Breaking Bad, and are into it once again, with white knuckles, as Walt's wife, with a new baby, realizes that his hospital bills of close to a hundred thousand have been paid by some one.  She leaves him because she 'fears his secret.'  Jesse's girl friend has died of an overdose and he's in rehab.  Well it goes from here, I am not sure but it certainly does not bode well for Walt. Evie and I commented on how the acting, the story, in Breaking Bad is so good, yet so weak in Political Animals, the other series we had been watching.  Walt is amazing, as you agonize with him, torn between family and his attempts to keep his meth business a secret, yet laugh at the silly stereotypes and story in Political Animals.
