Vacations end and changes begin

Another vacation: family camp in the Catskills. With friends we wish we had not turned on to it. They and their kids are a drag. It's all about what their 7 year old wants. She hijacks her family on her agenda. Plus sides: my wife and kids had fun; 7 year olds are more fun than 6 year olds; I like making bad friendship bracelets; I like horse riding but prefer that the stirrups are not longer than my legs; I like the other campers; the yoga here is awesome. I am glad we're home.

Summer vacation is gone. Kids start school on Monday. It rained most of the summer. Aside from 2 weeks in August, it did not get hot. Not too many pool days. Lots of time off. New weight loss initiative on Monday. Ready for a change of pace, attitude, routine. Not ready for fall but ready for the perennial renewal it heralds.

So, that's where it lies. Life ever turns, and change, for me, is often hard but largely good. I embrace it. Here I go.

Must-tell in a future post

My family and I have just returned from the Walt Disney Resort in Florida. Oh my, there is much to say. I must collect my thoughts and observations. Then, I will share.
