What Changed? May 20, 2023

Locator: 44704ARCH. 

Sports: another great Saturday -- PGA championship, the Preakness, and an NBA game tonight. I assume also NASCAR but I probably missed the race. Oh, yes, the NASCAR race finished quite some time ago.

The Preakness: in about half an hour. Scheduled: 7:01 p.m. ET. Wow, they can drag this out.

  • outcome: wow, one for the record book!
  • National Treasure; Hall of Famer jockey; Baffert -- among trainers, all-time winner Baffert!

PGA: I really don't care, but it is what it is. I can bike by Bryson's house every day if I wanted, about fifteen minutes from where we live.

Ennui

One of my favorite words.

See Blackbird, VCU.

That's my "feeling" right now. Has been so for the past several days.

Something's changed; I don't know what (until now).

We moved from San Antonio, TX, to the DFW/TX area in 2013. 

The years 2013 - 2017, I suppose, were some of the best in the past ten years. From 2013 - 2020 lived in an apartment complex not nearly as nice as the one we are currently in; the pool was not nearly as nice as either of the two pools in our new apartment complex, but I have fond memories of the earlier apartment complex. I spent a lot more time in that pool; I read a lot more; I was grilling on my Weber a lot more; I was biking more; I was at the library at least once weekly.

But in the last year or two, I find something missing or something changed. For the past couple of days I've been trying to figure that out. What changed? And then on a bike ride today, up to the Grapevine Public Library, it came to me.
