there's one thing...I can do nothing about
It's the end of the weekend, so it a way it's the end of the end, or the beginning. It's confusing, at any rate.
The summer is winding down. I realize that technically, it isn't, but for most, August is the last month of the summer. September is when things really start: the better weather, schools, stores open up again (here, August is a dead month, everyone goes to the beach, and nothing is open in the city), and we start looking forward to breezes and autumn nights on the river.
It is not without irony that such a good, nice time comes with melancholy. It can mean the end to many things, as the year winds down. So much depends on (the red wheelbarrow) what happens in the coming future. All we can do is set our own priorities, see how they mesh with the priorities of others, and be sure to do what's best for ourselves...and the ones we love.
And right now, a HUGE priority is cleaning my house. I just talked to Ed (twice in a few days!) and hopefully IO will be back and running soon. I tried to explain to him my own way of thinking about priorities (greatly influenced by the writing of Hyrum Smith) and how he should start thinking forward. He also owes me pages for our joint book we're writing. So do it. Write the address on the envelope and put it in the mail.
Here's hoping this summer ends well for you.

Leibniz never married; he had considered it at the age of fifty; but the person he had in mind asked for time to reflect. This gave Leibniz time to reflect, too, and so he never married. by Leibniz never married; he had considered it at the age of fifty; but the person he had in mind asked for time to reflect.
