I was up at 5:00, a dark house made the coffee and waited to listen to all the hullabaloo on MSNBC concerning the possible impeachment of Trump and like the speaker in Walt Whitman's When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer:
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
And as I sit here at 6:43, the sky is turning from pink to orange, the lake a variation of their colors. It's 8:50 as I finish this, after a 50-minute paddle, just me and my ski neighbors on the lake.

A Noble Bird |
Yesterday started out cloudy but the skies opened up early afternoon and it became another stellar fall day. I paddled for a half-hour on choppy, windy seas, not much fun. I then drove to yoga class, a good one but did not stop anywhere because I was going back out to Jamestown at 1:00 for teeth cleaning. When I returned home, Evie had left to do some major shopping and for a major hair appointment with Jaret and I did not expect her home until mid-afternoon. I heated up the leftover taco meat and made myself another plate of tacos for lunch and watched the last episode of City On The Hill, a disappointing ending with no closure as they obviously are gearing up for another season.

Yellow Trumps Purple |
I left for my dental appointment at 12:30, stopped at Peterson's Market and picked up another dozen ears of corn and purple grapes for Evie. I was out of the dentist office by 2:00, with a smile and decided to go home through Lakewood and stop at Wegman's and get my free flu shot. It was quick and easy. When I drove in, Evie had just gotten home and was putting away the groceries, so I helped. The rest of the afternoon we spent taking it easy as is our wont, reading and watching some of the news program, all trumpeting the news about Trump.

Ava Serving |
Thank goodness we had plans for the evening. So at 6:00, we drove off to Panama High School to watch our good friends Jack and Diane's granddaughter, Ava, play volleyball for Chautauqua Lake. She is only an eighth-grader but starts on the varsity team. Unfortunately, Panama was too tough and her team lost in three but she plays like a senior. It was fun for both of us to be back in a gym, watching a girl's volleyball game.

After the game, all four of us went to dinner at Andriaccio's just across the street from the Chautauqua Institution. It was a busy place even though it was a Tuesday which was nice to see. Evie and I split a pizza, Jack and Diane ordered the specials. It's a good place and I wonder why we don't go there more often. Perhaps because they do not have a bar; we like bars when it's just the two of us. We didn't get home until after 9:00 in time to watch Colbert and the neverending babel on the news channels, excited to have new breaking news.
