what a magical metaphor: I will never think of ripening fruit as a quotidian process again 🙂

  Thank you, John. That moment of ripeness, in most things it’s not easy to pinpoint and definitely not possible to sustain.

  Thanks, Hobbo. Lots of muggy embraces here. Best be on to fall, a much more introvert-friendly season.
