The sun is up, revealing Northern California at that exquisite late-spring moment after the rains have stopped but before the sheer, lush riot of green in the hills has burned down to the browns and dun-colors of summer, and--critical point--yours truly has imbibed a cup of joe.

When I moaned to one friend at the coffee shop about my mood indigo of the pre-dawn hours, he replied, "Enjoy life and relish the opportunity"--he used that marvelous word, "relish"--"to do what you can today." A moment later, a second friend approached. "Can you believe what's happening in the country?" he asked. "I can't wait for election season. This is going to be a beautiful fight."

Relish life, do what you can this very day, and gird yourself for a beautiful fight.

There. All better now.
