Test Draft

This is a test to draft a blog post on Word Press, which I haven’t been able to do successfully for 6 months, even though I’ve sought help from their tech support.

So hopefully, that is all behind me now.  They tried to tell me it was  because Internet Explorer required the cache to be cleaned all the time, but that doesn’t make sense to me.

It’s July 5th, and I’m in New Paltz.  Spent the day painting the railing on the front porch.  I just picked the paint out of the garage, and I’m not sure it’s the right color to go with the earlier coats from previous years, but it could be.

Yesterday Rolfe and Lillian were over for hotdogs and hamburgers and they brought their 3-week old pet chicken, Penguin, with them.  She was the life of the party.  Lester had a very exciting afternoon chasing Penguin around on the front deck.  It might have  been his all-time most exciting day ever.  At one  point, Penguin walked along the railing of the deck and hopped onto my shoulder.  I was afraid she would peck me in the eye, but she didn’t.  Tom took some pictures of us.

In a few days is our trip to Newfoundland.  Going to be quite a car trip.  I’ll miss Lester.  I hope it’s easy to get along with the Blynn’s.  We’re planning to stay with them for at least two nights in Nova Scotia.  I’m already dreading the feeling of coming back from that trip.

Last night I had a dream about Weil, where I was working with some younger partners and there was some kind of metaphysical aspect to our relationship.  Things changed, then, and I wound up somewhere like Grand Central station, in a small cafe on an upper floor.  It felt like being in the concourse of Veterans Stadium.  Nothing much seemed to happen, but I felt like I was looking for someone.

Tomorrow I need to buy paint, go to the dump, and then take Loretta over to see Rolfe and Lillian’s new greenhouse.
