fall days make me remember fall days out in the road, playing football or softball

those were long afternoons of play

one very memorable afternoon, juli decided to practice vivaldi on her violin, sitting on top of the crumbling adobe wall that surrounded the palladino house

football and vivaldi

today i ran into two neighbors whose names i now know — with their corgis.  one neighbor, pam, has a corgi-cross. sable colored with lots of black, and much bushier than a corgi. i’m not sure of the mix. the other neighbor, diana, has a corgi named vicki.

i made a point to remember the neighbors’ names, not just the dogs’ names.  dog owners appreciate this.

i have a mind to ask if vicki on occasion needs to be looked after.  she’s only a block from me. i could pick her up. see how she gots along with barbara.

a bit of propaganda came in the mail. a DVD with the title “obsessive islam” or somesuch. i watched half an hour of it. maybe it has bits of truth. jihad *is* scary. but half an hour into it i felt so much fear i was on the verge of a panic attack.

that’s it for today, october 12, 2008.
