The rain has already started. It will be rainy all day, but the temperature will be warm, in the low 50’s. What a waste.

I have always loved Saturdays. When I was a kid, I could pretty much do whatever I wanted. In the winter, it was a movie, ice skating, bike riding in good weather or reading the day away. During the rest of the seasons, it was exploring, wandering with no destination in mind, sometimes by foot, other times by bike. I’d ride by the golf course looking for errant golf balls. I’d sit on a bench at the station in the next town over and watch the trains. I’d stop and pick blueberries in summer. I’d lie on my stomach on the grassy side of the swamp in spring to watch the tad poles dart through the water. I’d keep track of their progress. I remember when they developed legs. The legs looked long, almost like foal legs do. That memory came back to me when I first ate frog legs. I tried to imagine the reaction of my ten year old self at the idea I was looking at dinner as I was lying there on the grass watching the tadpoles. Disgust comes to mind. The only given on Saturday was supper, hot dogs, brown bread and baked beans.

I have an empty dance card. I’m happy about that. This has been a busy week. Yesterday was our third uke concert. Our next one isn’t until May 3rd in Plymouth.

I am watching another science fiction movie. This one is about total destruction of the Earth. It’s called Doomsday Prophecy. The Black Sea is gone. It just disappeared. New York was destroyed by earthquakes. Volcanoes have erupted. Never fear though. Our two heroes are on it.
