White Dog and I thought it was going to be a long quiet day after my early morning doctor's appointment and her run in the park. It was Steve's late night of teaching so the day stretched out endlessly (or so we thought). Then Heather stopped by on her way to the airport to pick up a last minute Maya Copan animation. Then Jesse dropped off Brenna and Camryn while she went to her appointment. Then there was a big street brawl between three guys in front of our house (such swearing and pushing and hitting...White Dog tried to bark them into peacefulness but it did not work). We had an incredible rainstorm that started out roaring and has continued all evening. Family members demanded telephone time. We never did get to paint or read or cuddle (although White Dog wrapped herself tightly around my shoulders during the worst of the storm).
