Did you know that redheads require 25% more anesthesia than others to be fully sedated for surgery? Can you say feisty?

Ah, Princeton.
Crying at my desk. Images of the P-Rade are enough to reduce me to tears. There is no place I am happier to be affiliated with than Princeton. Seems like yesterday that was us running through onto a muddy Poe Field, under the 1996 banner, when we were the seniors.
Things I love about the summer (on a 58 degree day in Cambridge, it seems awfully far away!):
- The sound of halyards snapping against masts in Marion harbor
- Sauvignon blanc on the rocks on the back porch in Marion
- When it cools off at night enough for open windows and blankets
- Watching the children run through sprinklers naked and being sorely tempted to join them
- The smell of sunscreen
- Flip flops all the time, or, even better, bare feet
- Swimming in the ocean, every day, no matter what the weather, when I’m in Marion
- Summer thunderstorms (a passion already detailed below)
- Shiny bright red toenails
- Jack Rodgers
- Driving to the beach in a bathing suit, towel, and bare feet
- Early morning runs before the sun comes up and the heat sets in
- Blue hydrangeas in full bloom
Grace. Class of 2021. Wow!
A random old Spin Doctors song came on this morning while I was running. Reminded me of one of my favorite stories. Summer of 1992, walking on the beach with my boyfriend (Will) – somehow “romantic songs” came up. I asked him, imagining myself charming and coy, “what songs make you think of me?” and prepared myself for a sweet answer, say, “In Your Eyes.” He thought for a long moment, and then said, seriously: “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.”
Ahhh. I have always been drawn to men who put me in my place!
Good day today … dancing and singing this morning at the DeCordova with Natalie & crew and Elizabeth and Robert & team … then home for naps and rest … family walk and then dinner with Nana and Poppy to celebrate Poppy’s birthday (yesterday). Everyone is asleep and I’m getting organized for Providence tomorrow – literally the first time in a MONTH that I have been there!
