In 5 days we’ll be on a plane bound for the South Pacific. It’s a little mind boggling to think about, especially since I still have 3 finals to take, and an abundance of packing to do.
This morning we’re having one of those stunning, southern California wake ups. The skies are pale blue with just the right amount of wispy clouds and receding haze. The sun will be hot later, but right now it’s simply bright and warm. Birds are singing, but otherwise the air outside is quiet; only interrupted by the quick swish of bike tires riding past the window, or one of the dogs padding by on the deck. In a word, it’s lovely.
