Love Me Some Fresh Fruit Season. Why? Because I Love Yogurt and Granola for Breakfast to Kick off a Fantastic Day.

I was a good boy yesterday. I hunkered down, worked on grants, worked on summer programs, wrote contracts, ordered materials, and caught up on many items that I put to the side for a week. I also walked in the heat with Karal (yuck) and watched the first World Cup game with Leo. But for the most part I put everything in gear so I can work for a few days from Syracuse. My windows to visit the parental units are limited and I had two options before July. I promised myself if I got work stuff done yesterday, I could travel today...

...which I plan on doing after I weed-whack and pack. It's going to be another scorcher in CT today, but then it will cool off. The following two weekends I have weddings and graduation parties. Of course, July is summer programs, too. I figure now offers the best window to get a few days in Central New York, now that the semester is over and I successfully did the California thing.

I also need to cover my blueberry bushes. They are loaded and I'm afraid they will ripen while in Syracuse and the birds will get them all. I need to be strategic as I want to get as many as I can. In my head, I own a blueberry farm, but the couple of plants suffice. I will be ahead of the Nikki/Mike birthdays, but less pressed for time if I get there today for a short bit. I can do most of my other work online and this way I'll be able to cover Father's Day with Butch (I got to Mother's Day, too, but a week or so late).

I'm looking forward to another great breakfast and to listening to books. It's so nice to be back in my car, too. Our rental, a Mitsubishi, was horrible. I've not been in a car with such awful pickup since my high school, college days when my friends and I drove hand-me-down cars. 

Here's to safe travels. I'm in no rush...just going to ride with the day.
