Back to School

This week Lily returns to high school.  This morning is the second day back and I'm up making breakfast and helping with her lunch. Well, truth is she handles her lunch now herself for the most part. I'm thankful. We talk, read the WSJ together (well, for a few minutes), then off she goes.

I'm back in the mode of buying groceries a week in advance and planning meals.  Tonight I've set out some small steaks and we'll cook up some fresh vegetables.

Next week I'm headed off to Montana to visit Claud and Jan Matney and move ahead on the Community Wind film project I'm working on with Carolyn Baehr and Robert Shaver. You can see a short teaser in the previous post, or go to http://www.tomparish.com/blog to read how the film progress is coming along week to week.

Everyone knows by now, I assume, that Brad Brown has passed.  I was saddened to hear the news last week. There will be many many people gathering for the memorial service on September 8th. I haven't decided if I am going yet. I have many personal items in play right now along with regrouping my efforts for my business since I've lost a major client. So I'll decide by September 1st or so.

It's hot in Austin but not like it has been in years past. Still, I'm looking forward to this fall with Justin and Juliet's marriage coming and the change in weather which always brings a smile to my face.

Look for inspiration - find what makes you happy today.

Seize the Wind - movie preview

There will be iterations of this in September and October as we complete the interviews for the film. So the  preview will change to reflect this - as we evolve the story. That's a somewhat different approach but hey that's how we're doing it. The we is Carolyn Baehr and Robert Shaver.  For now think of this is more of a teaser then a film preview.
