8/22: turn-around

The morning didn't start off entirely auspiciously:  there was a computer glitch at work that I had to deal with before 9 a.m.  But then I talked with a friend of mine on the phone (about Emily Dickinson et al.), had a nice set of text exchanges with another friend, met briefly with yet another friend in the afternoon, started (and finished!) work on the cover for the print edition of Heron Tree, and kayaked at sunset.  And while I was on the lake I saw a heron in one of the heron trees along the shore.
