The other morning I was perusing the newspaper,
as I usually do, when an obituary caught my eye. While most obituaries say, something like “John
Jones, 87,” the heading for this particular one was “Harry Lengas, the Eternal
Optimist.” I had to read that one through
and take a second to say good-bye to this person who is someone I would have
liked had I known him.
The Eternal
Optimist…what a wonderful legacy.

We’ve had a weird spring. Usually, we go from winter to dog days
without much transition in between. But
this year it has been cool, overcast and rainy all the way up to Memorial
Day. I don’t mind the cool. It’s the constant overcast that has me
down. Oh, well, I WILL NOT complain
because there is absolutely NOTHING I can do about the weather.

I have less than a month left on my Flickr 365
and I have mixed feelings about that. On
the one hand, it will be nice to not have that obligation hanging over my head even
though it’s a self-inflicted one. On the
other hand, the day after my last 365 photo is posted is my next birthday. And
that is something I’m not so enthusiastic about. But, as they say, it beats the
alternative.

Greg and I went to the Red Sox game last week
and came home with our very own World Series Rings. How cool is that?? Of course, the Sox lost that game and the
nine surrounding it, but they won yesterday.
I keep telling myself, the season is still young and while I don’t
expect them to repeat with another World Series win, I do have hopes that they
won’t end up in the basement.

Thinking these random thoughts made me realize
how much I miss our blogging friend Nancy and A Rural Journal. If you happen to see this, Nancy, I hope all
is well with you and your world.
