“In the greatest confusion there is still an open channel to the soul. It may be difficult to find, because by midlife it is overgrown, and some of the wildest thickets that surround it grow out of what we describe as our education. But the channel is always there, and it is our business to keep it open, to have access to the deepest part of ourselves.”   Saul Bellow

As has gotten to be our habit, we went to the Marsh after mass.  I took an Ai Chi class in the therapy pool while Steve hit the training center.  We made a HUGE pot of lentil soup and a Peanut Butter Pound Cake with Chocolate frosting, which we shared with Dan and Kelsy.

TechnoGym Wave:  49:05, 7.0 miles, HR=114.  We enjoyed Family Splash at the Marsh followed by dinner at Snuffy’s with the grandkids.

Daisy ate a tennis ball ?!?!?!

TechnoGym Wave:  47:24, 7.0 miles, HR=128.  I think Daisy enjoyed her day at PupTown.  She came home, ate her dinner and collapsed on her bed.

On the way to Mass this morning, we saw a Coyote at the end of my street.  We’ll be keeping a closer eye on Daily when she’s outside.

This morning I decided my wellness would be better served by an hour of sleep rather than an hour of exercise.

 I lost the fight with a cold on Friday afternoon.  I slept for about 30 hours straight.  My brother Jeff, from California, is in town, so we hosted a family brunch on Sunday.  I sure hope they don’t all get sick.  As of today, I’m about 75% over it.  I think Daisy enjoyed her time at Top Dog Country Club, but is happy to be home.
