Just off from work. About to hit the pool at my gym. Thought it’d be a good way to end the day of Labora to jot down some recent thoughts.

This Fall weather. Cue the song Ode to Joy in its most triumphal parts. What a divine tonic God gives us in this very moment of the year. Soothingly cool temperatures. It’s as if our brains have figuratively and literally become less swollen by the inflammation that heat induces in the body. Blood pressure and heart rate likewise subside.
Red Bud Valley Nature Preserve. A must this time of year for the avid Tulsa hiker. As I am. Went there early this last Saturday morning to kick off the weekend. Before witnessing OU dominate another football game. Go Sooners! My Alma Mater. Best State school here in the Heartland. Yessir.

Have a good rest of your week. Planning more hiking plus local fly-fishing.
Go Sooners.
