Oh my goodness. I have intended to write several times...now those moments are lost. But I still have today. Only 35 more minutes to pass until I can swipe my name badge & stroll into the draining heat of Chattanooga. All day I have thought about the lunar eclipse I viewed while jogging this morning. The moon was brightly visible as a smiling crescent & slowly the earth overcame it...it was softly glowing pale. I kept gazing at it...then after I passed some taller architectural structures I was actually disappointed to have lost it in the clouds that had overtaken the western sky. But it was beautiful. I know that God is always alive, but He is very real in his omnipotence when these acts of nature occur.

So some time has passed by as it always does when our earth continues to rotate. I do not want it to stop...rotating, I mean. I am here @ work @ the library. Slower day but will be driving my nearly dead Jeep home in less than an hour. Kevin will be there to greet me...I imagine him sitting in his normal spot on the couch where he likes to work, read, & watch TV. I don't have anything in particular to say today. I was listening to a podcast as I slowly jogged my 6 miles early this morning. NPR has wonderful literature downloads which for me lately has been what keeps my feet moving ahead as I jog. I feel like quitting jogging. But back to my podcast..it is called 'selected shorts'...btwn 2-4 short stories are read....this particular show featured Julie Otsuko ('When the Emperor was Divine') who read the 1st chapter of her upcoming novel '1919'...a large group of Japanese women were sailing across the Pacific to America to encounter their American husbands....they were purchased brides anticipating a better life in America rather than in the rice paddies. It will be a must read when finally published. Terry Gross of Fresh Air interviews Frank Owen author of 'No Speed Limit...'--a history of methamphetamine. My jog concluded with only hearing the 1st part of the interview...intriguing that docs prior to 1970 prescribed this drug for multiple reasons...depression, parkinson's, etc...so I anticipate the rest of the interview manana when I exercise.
that's all.
