Woke up quite early, what with jet lag and all, but am enjoying some Saturday morning rituals back here in America:
• a ride around town on my scooter
• eggs Benedict at Abbott & Cassello's eatery down the hill
• the Saturday New York Times, with Sunday's inserts
• Scott Simon's "Weekend Edition" show on National Public Radio
The air is cooler than when I left--could it be a hint of the fall ahead?--but I have two weeks before school kicks into gear, and I intend to enjoy this traditionally very pleasant time of the year.
