See

Sunday. Lights out by nine-thirty, to sleep around ten. I think. Awoke at five-fifteen, blinked and it was after six and so got up and drove to breakfast on what they're saying will be another relatively cool day with a high around seventy. Arrived to find the restaurant dark, but the dining room door open and so entered, turned on the lights and settled in with the Sunday papers. So far, so good.

The single pork chop, eggs over medium, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, finishing up at a quarter to nine to drive home, take the selfie and settle in with yesterday's entry, finishing it and posting before an ocular migraine came on. How long has it been since I've had one? Not overly strong, but the real thing and so lied down on the bed for a thirty minute nap. Real sleep. Did the trick.

Maybe that pork chop? I believe they us MSG at the restaurant and it's been quite a while since I've asked them to hold any seasonings. Oh, well, the day has started, the sun it out and I'm sitting here (mostly) watching the last round of the BMW golf tournament on television thinking maybe another nap in a while, get the head totally together before we write another word.

Later. Another really interesting play at the BMW FedEx tournament, Justin Thomas holding on to win after smashing the course record yesterday, but starting somewhat wobbly today. Hideki Matsuyama, who set the course record on Friday, fell back when Thomas broke his record the day after, came back and duplicated his Friday total of 63 today to finish third. All of this going back and forth as others flitted about in the first five or six positions.

Evening. Odd to feel so tired and so, since there was nothing on television I wanted to watch, went to bed at eight, turned out the lights pretty sure I'd doze right off. We'll see.

The photo up top was taken at the 2017 Oakland Chinatown Street Fest with a Nikon D5 mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
