Market Square 7/21/12

Summer can be a sweet time. Long days, sweat, iced tea, achingly ripe tomatoes, fresh cut flowers. I find, though, that most of us are too busy, summer after summer, to enjoy the fruits thereof. I can't remember the last time I spent a lazy summer. A summer without traveling, without working overtime, without rushing from task to task. I propose a change.
Make a pot of coffee. Do not pour it into a travel mug. You aren't going anywhere.
Sit on your porch at dusk. Enjoy the absence of air conditioning.
Break a sweat.
Don't check your email for an entire day.
As Mos Def might say, you know the motto: stay smooth even in staccato.
