Spirit of Summer

Had a very mellow day today, perfect for a hot summer day.

I slept in, did a little reading, and made an absurdly great brunch of Maine made/smoked Chorizo Goat Sausage (from Herring Brothers in Guilford, Maine) with eggs and smoked gouda cheese.

Then I chilled a while and let Loki (my mother-in-law’s cat) out, we hung out for about an hour in the shade. I did have to switch camp chairs after I noticed mine broke, so it goes costs less than 10 bucks.

Played with my phone a lot, read less than I planned to.

Then I went to the laundromat, gave out a random compliment I am trying to do that more. Listened to my music did some reading. Having the iPod at the laundromat makes all the difference. Read a little more of the Ray Bradbury Essay collection, Bradbury Speaks. Ray Bradbury makes me want to get to my inner boy all the more, although as Lanna can tell you it’s not far away.

Since I have been internetting and listening to music.

Summer is sometimes meant for easy days.

And there is nothing wrong with a good simple American Light Lager like a cold Miller High Life. Of course if you are drinking Light Lager Light like Miller Lite or Coors Light, well that’s not right.

Enjoy your summer, do some reading, pet your companion (cat, dog, spouse or otherwise), and drink a beer and enjoy the warmth and breezes of summer. It’s all too short in Maine.

Grieving Comes in Waves

I miss my father-in-law Walter Maheux a lot. I have sadness in waves.

And feel really, really lucky that I am not in “the club” of people who have lost parents. As I was reminded by my wife Lanna’s beautiful blogpost today.

I came very close 4 years ago now, and so happy my father is still a cancer survivor. Major brain cancer usually takes a life within 12-18 months, and I have 4 years now and my dad is still mainly cancer free. I am lucky.

Grieving is so much a part of the human experience. It’s often how we gain perspective about life. And the memories live on.

And in nature, death bring soil which brings life again.

Walter was a beautiful man and we miss him.
