First, let me just state that I am writing this entry away from my desk - I'm actually seated in the park putting these words down into my pocket journal with my lime-green lead point pencil. It's a perfectly beautiful afternoon. The bells of the carillon are chiming out the time on the half hour. The time is now 4:30 p.m. There's a breeze blowing my hair hailing from the south east. The whole entire world smells of the lushest, greenest grass from where I sit. There are a couple of birds having a lover's quarrel in a nearby tree. Occasionally, a squirrel walks by me on tip-toe in search of his next meal. Sometimes I can only hear them rustling around on the branch high above me. Now the crickets have begun to play their repetitious song.
I decided to lunch outdoors for a change in scenery. I brought along my book (I'm still working through American Gods, progression is slow when I have so much to keep me occupied) and a nice salad of my own making. I wanted to spend more than just the hour I was able to afford, but alas I have other things to do.
Second, let me just state that I wholly intended to get in another entry yesterday; it just didn't happen. I've decided to start hauling this portable journal around with me wherever I go so that even when I am away I can still write a little something for the website and just upload it when it is more convenient for me to do so.
