Surfacing

Last night I finally conquered my childhood nemesis, Ms. Pac-man. That is to say I got so far in the game, with no end in sight, that I finally got bored and just started chasing the ghosts. I think I was around level 50 and my score was something like 389,000. The victory was sweet after weeks of committing pac-man hara-kiri over and over because I screwed up early on in the game and wanted to start over.

I'm still slowly snapping myself out of a recent funk, so this morning I forced myself to get up early and take a walk. I encountered a deer and a Peregrine Falcon – both fairly close-up. I saw a variety of pretty wildflowers and ate wild strawberries for breakfast.

Pac-man and nature walks...Ahhhh…life is good.
