The day was like a mundane sandwich with a couple of slices of magic for the bread.

After dropping Jeb at school I took a 30 minute beach walk to pump fresh blood to my heart before diving into the day’s tasks at hand.  Not one person was there as I walked the shore, dodging random guavas and wet bees in the sand.  In the bay a dolphin pod greeted the day with silver splashes, the clan’s tiny babies practicing their spins.  No need for a camera – this was an image to remember and feel.

Giving thanks, then shifting gears, I shook the sand from my toes and began:

big-headed ants and rodent control
a faulty washing machine
two AT&T bills
Department of Water
health insurance
internet trouble call
what’s the status on the termite treatment?
Google spreadsheets
checkbook reconciled
iCal reminders
credit card balances
cost basis
invoices
tracking non-cash donations

At day’s end Jeb’s back home with me and we layer lasagna and let it bubble in the oven.  As it bakes he steps outside gifting me this picture to end the day.
