9:38am I am impatient to get on the road. To complete the trip back to Arizona. Yet this moment is sweet. I took the dog for a walk. Washed my car. Bought breakfast. When I returned everyone was still asleep. I began watching Hamilton. My wife woke up and went to the store. My daughter and I are on the couch. I have nothing more important to return to today. I will be patient. Savor the moment.

The view high from the hills facing east in south Orange County is magnificent. Yet it is seldom seen. The open water to the west is alluring. A new perspective is good
