checking in - nothing but clear liquids after midnight

What magic is there in these words that so stimulates the appetite?  Why suddenly does a bowl of Cheerios swimming contentedly amongst a large handful of fresh blueberries in a pool of milk, next to a couple of slices of whole wheat toast and butter (maybe a pinch of jam), sound so impossibly delicious?

The birds on Rexford are once again sleeping in, but the choir on Shenandoah Drive was up early and gloriously welcoming the day...so I joined with them in my morning song:

Refusing to look back
and joyful with infinite gratitude
never fear to rise to meet the dawn
Praising
Blessing
And Singing:
Christ your Lord.

Thanks, my winged choir of Shenandoah Drive, for the accompaniment.

DAYS TILL STOMACH PEG.......O.......(3 hours)

and, as another song says....."JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL"

    walking through this day with you steve. perhaps you can think of blogging this way:the door to your home, usually closed for reasons of privacy, now stands unlocked, slightly ajar. the reason? Behold! The angel of the Lord has come, unnanounced! there is no discussion of the length of stay by this honored visitor; you cannot bring yourself to ask ,and you really don't care. you wouldn't think of keeping this to yourself!
