Fishers

We devoted a little time to poolside sitting this afternoon before leaving for our Friday night meeting. With ear buds in place and iPhone playing my Beethoven App - there is such a thing and it contains all his symphonies excellently performed - I reclined in my lounge chair and observed pelicans glide over the sea and dive for fish to the sounds of Symphony #4.


It is nothing short of spectacular how well Beethoven's symphonic music suits pelican flight and diving. At times a pelican's plunge synchronized serendipitously with an orchestral plunge, and that was simply exquisite. Not for the fish obviously, but you know what I mean. I am tempted to video these pelicans and edit the footage so their actions align with the second movement of Beethoven's Fourth. I believe that would be a captivating sight to see.

The meeting tonight was superb as usual. There are many visitors who have long experience in the truth. The commenting is top quality, well researched, and moves along clickety-click. It's keep up or be left behind in a cloud of dust. It's the way I like it, briskly paced. Afterwards we received an invitation from a brother to a meal. He recently rented a boat and went fishing, very successfully, and wishes to share his bounty with us.

The bus ride home was a surprise. We rode the smoothest, highest quality, newest bus yet. Shock absorbers and springs were in top shape. The seats were upholstered. The interior was roomy. We were actually comfortable! The bus company is denying me my blog material.

After returning we went to poolside and caught a photo of the full moon.


I conclude with a picture of Carol and me jazzed up to look like a painting ...


... and so it goes. 

P.S.
The word "serendipitously" is for sale. If you would like it please visit my eBay store.
