Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

It's a beautiful weekend here. In the 70s, might reach 80 today and tomorrow. I took the kidlings to "Golf Ball ParK" this morning. That's the park that's over in the golf course. It has 4 big golf balls on pedastals, so that's why we call it golf ball park. They had a blast as usual. Rhonda went to the grocery store while I had them. Came home, and I mowed the yard while they had lunch.

I took John with me to dump the grass, and now everyone else is down for their naps. I'm going to go sit outside, listen to the radio, munch chips and do some reading for tonight, as my writing group meets. (We decided to call ourselves the Ministry of Speculation.)

I play with the orchestra tomorrow, but I don't know yet what we'll do with John and Hanna as far as nursery goes.

It looks all but certain I'll move to that other group. They're only 15 steps down the hall, so it's not a move in that sense, and I should be able to stay in my same cube.
