Fog Rising

6:38

8:52

It's just about 7:00 and I have been up for an hour on another quiet morning on the lake. It's fun watching the fog move along the lake's surface, seemingly coming and going. At the moment, it's overcast, the sun hiding behind the clouds on a 53º morning. It was an osprey morning, and I chased at least three or four  numerous ospreys along the shoreline, attempting to get a good photo.

Yesterday was a busy day and a tiring one for me. It started as usual with a good paddle, then breakfast and the blog before 9:00 when I left for yoga in Lakewood. I haven't been to class in a week so it felt good to back in the routine, After class, I stopped for coffee and sat on Ryder's Cup porch with a couple of friends for a half hour. I was home before noon, just as Evie was leaving for shopping and a hair appointment. Lunch was soup from the freezer and a chicken salad sandwich. I had enough time to watch my show, eat my lunch, and relax for a few minutes before heading to class at the Chautauqua Institute. The class was a continuation of Monday's class, with an emphasis on the music of 1966 and 1967, listening to the likes of The Door, The Byrds, Sam Cooke, Joni Mitchell, and a classic video of Janis Joplin at the Monterey Pop Festivals in 1967. It was fun. 

After class, I hurried home and Evie returned we both go ready because we were being picked up by Linda and Ron because we going to the afternoon showing of Oppenheimer. It's a great film, three hours of the vicissitudes in the life of Oppenheimer, his moral qualms captaining of the making of the atomic bomb, his relationships with fellow scientists, his personal life, and the later attempts by Congress to make him out as a Communist synpathizer, even agent. 

By 6:45 we were on our way to Bemus Point for dinner at the Bemus Point Golf Club. Fortunately, it was not very busy and we found a table outside on their porch. It was a pleasant night for enjoying libations and food, made even better by the news that Trump had just been indicted for the third time. We were home by 8:30, in time to watch some TV for an hour before bed, the end of another good day.
