This morning
Pacific time, a verse, and a famous line — the same all day, new at midnight.
Quote of the day
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
— Mary Oliver
Poem of the day
Crossing the Bar
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.

- Status
- At his post. Soft surveillance.
- Walk
- A short neighborhood loop, if the mood holds.
