Got up at 5:00 this morning to get my short (3 miles) neighborhood run done.  77 degrees & 89% humidity that early, looks like it will be a long hot summer.  Love the birds around here at sunrise, makes me think of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.  Suppose that if I were to wake up & realize I could fly some exuberant lunacy might be called for.  

Doc Watson died yesterday, hate to see him go.  By all accounts he was a gentleman & a heck of a guitar player.  Seems I’ve reached an age where when I recognize a name in the news more often than not they’ve died.  Feel I haven’t valued the people in my life nearly enough.
