A Sunday. Took almost all day to get my 750 words. Slow, slow day. We got home late (for us) after Dazzle Jazz on Saturday. That in itself slows things down. But the slighter thicker movement of time on the Christian sabbath is the real culprit. The Sunday paper. The nothing special going on usual Sunday schedule. On the one hand fewer neighbors going to work and on the other more motorcyclists, bicyclists and campers. The occasional chainsaw rattling to life somewhere. Folks out in their yards doing this or that. Slow.
