Each evening on campus we make this walk in the semi dark
with plenty of company on foot, bikes, and skateboards. In three weeks when
Daylight Savings Time starts up again, this walk should be in the light though
it will not be anywhere near as bright as in this picture posted by UTD on
twitter last night.
While sitting in Green Hall is nice as they have eight sort of
recliners there, I much prefer sitting outside at the Patio outside the Pub
when the weather is better. Especially now that the smoking ban on campus is
actually being enforced. The open area has overhead lights for after dark and a
number of large metal tables with plenty of chairs. Getting outside has always been a much needed part of my self-care
since I was a child and though I can’t go walk/hike or visit a state park these
days, sitting outside at UTD does help. It also gets me away from loud groups
of congregated young adults that clearly are having way more fun at their age
than I ever did at any time in my life.
My preferred table is in the right corner just off the edge
where I can put my back to a large planter area and contemplate whatever I am
reading as well as the interesting smorgasbord of humanity as it flows by. In fact, if you look closely in the far right you can see some of our stuff from a couple of years ago when we were out there and Scott took this picture.

Reading and people watching. A good pastime.
I am still not writing my own stuff, but in the last couple of weeks it has gotten me thinking about it a little bit. I see somebody and it triggers a thought or two.
You'll come back to writing when it's time to return.
