Nice to be outside at the tapas table in the morning writing to you.  We are savoring this late summer and harvest time.  Nothing better really.  If I could I would move Thanksgiving to now.  Picking corn for the day in a minute and then off to the hospital.  I slept in, which I rarely do, so my time is short.

I got some nice and thoughtful comments on yesterday’s post, the archery lesson.  So, great that you responded like that.  Maybe I will do more.  Just maybe one story for now.  Over the years I’ve had a lot of children and teens to teach and one time I had this pair of teen girls.  One was of average height and one was extremely tall for her age.  And the tall girl in her normal mode would walk around sort of hunched over all the time, like I’m really not this tall.  But I taught them to push and pull to draw the bow where you employ your back muscles and it transformed her momentarily to some sort of archery goddess.  To have her open up like that and be her  best self was a beautiful thing to see.

OK, off we go, love you immensely, Felipe.
