Difficult Weekend, But Persevering

The weekend was quite rough.  I had gone to the local greenhouse and purchased a flowering plant to place on my father's and my father-in-law's grave.  I did this early Saturday.

My wife returned from her trip late Saturday evening.  I thought things were generally ok.  However, we ended up having a bit of a quarrel yesterday.  We have worked through it, but it was not a stellar weekend. 

But, I will persevere.  In trying to look at the positive, I can be thankful for:

1.  Running outside this morning at 5am.  It was already HOT (85 degrees) so I ran without a shirt.  I probably scared off the wildlife because they probably thought a Sasquatch was loose. 

2.  Our air conditioning is working well.  It is needed as we are anticipating another high 90s day today (with heat index above 100). 

3.  I think the mint is growing well enough in the garden that I may already be able to harvest some and may make a watermelon salad with feta cheese and mint.

Silly "academic" humor for today:

Who was Socrates' worst student?

Mediocrities.

And... who was his busiest student?

The one who had too much on his Plato.

The above image is one that I inadvertently stumbled across during the weekend.  I think it is very pleasing as an image.
