gp, dog, abloom

*I really like my general practitioner. She patiently answers my questions and encourages me to be a better, healthier person.

*Dog in the back of the car (it is cool enough so we evade the anti-dog-in-the-car-people), we trundle about on errands. With each stop the dog smell more strongly pervades the car.

*A bike ride to the doctor. Crisp air, few cars, pride at evading the draw of Starbucks, ducks gliding on a lake, fruit trees abloom.
