While walking across campus to meetings today and when running around the building by the big windows, there it was -- an expansive blue sky with a few cirrus clouds and so many jet contrails. It was gorgeous. There was a bit of a breeze that brushed my face while walking outside. All this helped me remain centred as I ran from building to building to get my ID card updated. Seems we can now use this to swipe in and out of the copier/printer/scanner device. This sure beats having to punch in a lengthy username and password on a finicky touch screen. Registration kerfuffles continued today, but nothing that was too challenging. In fact the requests slowed as the afternoon wore on, leaving me time to do a few other small things from the 'to do' list.
Sunshine and blue sky can be so uplifting -- well as long as the temperature isn't oppressive. Today was pleasant even warmer than past days, but not so hot that I wanted to hide at the mall in the a/c air <smile>. It is nice to see the sun as we arrive closer to the longest day of the year. With major cloud cover this could seem to be twilight all day rather than really noticing the length of the day. Summer seems ready to arrive based on the temperature and sunshine of the day. I'm ready to make friends as long as it doesn't try to make me fry or melt. We'll see. <smile>
A song came to mind that I'd heard in a lovely acoustic version (that, of course, is not anywhere to be found online <sigh>). Lyrics relate to the great blue sky I encountered today. The song is from a Broadway musical. Enjoy!
For Forever -- Ben Platt
