Beyond


this,


the


 typical-


yet-


always-


varied


morning commute to the Pianists,


returning northward


past the new Stonewind Burn


and the older


North Lagoons one for again more evening class-preparation and grading, plus composition of a fourth page re The Decameron - Fourth Day: II, on a day matching yesterday's high -- 93 -- 107th day of summer, 32nd at 90-or-beyond. 


After the second trip


down and homecoming,


return to the traditional Gmail format... which does have welcome filtering features, as well as, like Mac Mail, the ability to file emails away in a personally organized fashion (as opposed to generic archiving, which is news to this writer).
