Ten.One Thousand, One Hundred & Sixty-Seven

1. I needed the extra time and space.

2. Stack logs. Search for lighter. Start a fire.

3. How, after a rain, everything glimmers. Everything is sharper, clearer, more defined.

4. Almost there.

5. I start to think about worst-case scenario and then walk myself back to reality.

6. Two weeks down. 4 more to go.

7. More tri-tip. No one is complaining.

8. Do you root for the local team or for the upset?

9. They are asking questions that surprise me and delight me. I try to hide my excitement.

10. Decisions to be made.
