Sometimes all you need is to slow down and laugh with a friend while viewing the riverfront.

1,000 meters to start the day. The shortage of lifeguards is impacting the pool schedule this month. I'll get it in when the buoys align.

A lovely woman ran up to me as I was getting coffee. I’m wearing a Cass Tech Alumni hoodie, and she wanted to know when I graduated. She's old enough to be my mom. We chatted about Detroit, and our majors - she was chem/bio and I was architecture. Neither of us worked in those fields. Happy Monday
