Let’s get trucking this Monday morning. I rose at 3 am and felt I got a jump on the day. It’s going to be a good one loaded with both chores and fun. The first 4 hours of the day have been a blast catching up on communications, writing, and editing while enjoying music.

I’m headed out to wash 3 vehicles, then fire up the mower to cut and trim, a dentist appointment this afternoon, and the game this evening. That’s a full day.

I find it interesting that many are so enthralled about the eclipses today. I get the significance and infrequency of the event. For some reason, it doesn’t interest me to catch it live. Now sunrise this morning was another matter. It was nice and I was up to appreciate it.

It’s also the Final 4 game day. College Basketballs National Championship game. I can feel myself missing it already. The pro game while good, doesn’t hold the excitement. At least it’s a summer filled with anticipation for the coming season of Maryland basketball with a new stud in the center position to build around.
