It’s a little strange to be one week post-return from the big summer trip, at this point having thoroughly enjoyed the collapse into the comforts and familiarity of home. The travel clothes and gear are put away, pictures have been ordered, and I’ve gotten re-used to the luxury of having a car (a vehicle of my own!) to get from home base to pretty much anywhere I want or need to go. You really appreciate what you have all the more…not just things but the routines and places you have available to you–so much space and choice that you almost feel limitless. How unbelievably fortunate.
So tonight? Doing the hour drive south with S. to Pawtucket, Rhode Island to spend one late summer evening watching a minor league baseball game. Almost a necessity to round out any good summer. Seven dollar seats, cheese fries and hot dogs from the concession stands, and a chance to cheer on the local team in the outdoors under the bright stadium lights and a cool dusk. Excellent.
