Somehow, a cricket has taken up residence outside my bathroom window. It's three stories up, and there's no cricket food to speak of, but it hangs out there each night, rubbing its legs together and cricketing all night long.
The Chinese would say it's lucky.
Lucky is what I've been feeling lately, although it's hard sometimes to remember between the stress of a busy work schedule and the sorrow of friends who've lost family in the last few months. Last weekend, a friend generously gave me 3-day passes to Outside Lands music festival, and 5 of us shared two tickets, seeing Black-Eyed Peas, Ween, Mike & Kim, Pearl Jam. The weather was gloriously warm -- hot even.
It's hot in Rochester, NY this weekend. Almost too hot for a walk along the Erie Canal, or breakfasting on the patio at my parents favorite brunch place. I've joined my family here to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. Tomorrow there is swimming planned, minigolf, and a big dinner. Should be fun.
