Late summer sky

...along the National Mall in Washington DC before the showing of 'Bonnie and Clyde' (1967) to close out the Screen on the Green season on August 2.

McFeast of McChicken

50 chicken nuggets were stuffed down in one sitting. The doldrums of summer on a college campus I suppose.

The sun takes forever to set...

...on Long Island in the summer.

I don't know if has been the endless lacrosse playing, rolling around in the grass, watching the fire flies or eating the world best bagels, but I wish I found out about Long Island sooner.

I owe much to Matt and Michelle for bringing me out there for a large portion of the last month. Among the many Florida licenses plates I feel close to home, and of course among the compassion and joy.

This song has nothing to do with Long Island, but I found the lyric otherwise proper:

"Makin' points with the stewardess high over long island sound
Shes also spending some time on the island
Too much city madness gives her the blues
They make a date to go dancin' and dinin'."
-Jimmy Buffett; The Weather Is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful

"I've got my toes in the water..."

Just an average day living across the street from a major hospital.

It is closer than I thought

Hardly a foot on the ground...

Since Dallas, 13 states later, I am somewhere in the Atlantic Northeast bouncing around some.

A little snow...

...since it is over 100 degrees in North Texas. This was from February.
