Saturday Ramblings

The Red Sox have won ten in a row and are giving the Yankees fits- you could say that the "shoe is on the other foot," at least for now. It's still kind of muggy today although the last couple of days were perfect- 70's, dry and sunny. My oldest son is at work (he's a part-time EMT in a city about 45 miles away). My daughter went shopping this morning and is at work now at the local CVS. And my youngest son is chumming around with some neighborhood buddies. I got my part of the lawn mowed earlier this week, so I didn't have to do that today. It's a rare sort of Saturday since I don't have a long list of things to get done in the yard and house.

Wife and I took a walk around 7:30 am and then ate bagels and tea on the deck with the paper before the kids got up. There were two cukes ready for picking and we put a new bouquet of zinnias on the kitchen table. The previous bunch had lasted more than a week. At 11 I gave my youngest son his weekly guitar lesson- he's about to complete the first volume of the Mel Bay series. He's using the same book I used about 38 years ago, but for volume two I'll get him a new copy. My mother will be over tomorrow for lunch and we'll cook outside. She's bringing some cherrystone clams that I'll cook on the grill; everyone likes them, but me.
