Not really this bleak

...I just felt like a mono blip today (though not in line with the Mono Monday challenge, I don't think). The light was fading as we reached the top of the hill tonight. All the way up, the cicadas were loud - the "normal" summer cicadas, not those thunderous ones we had earlier this season. Coming back down, the temperature had dropped enough that the softer cricket chorus took over.

Lunch/writing with friend Laura, and the very yummy discovery of a Monday pita special. 

D. met online with the candidate and campaign manager he'll be interning for this fall. 

Hope the week's started out well for you all.
