It was one of those mornings where the clear Eastern sky showed little color as the sun rose. The Western sky, however, had a rose hue, as seen here behind a couple of deciduous oaks – not Coast Live Oaks as I earlier thought, which are evergreen.

Cassie and I are in our third day of RTDS (Return to Dawn Service), and did the 2.1 mile corral loop easily. I’m feeling good – only 5 seizures yesterday, including a spell from 4 PM yesterday until just past 7 AM today. (Woo hoo!)

It was cold when we rose, a bit under 40F, and there was frost on nearly every open patch of field or lawn. We met Kate, a plucky, British member of the dawn community, who gave me a hug and told me a cheery story about a neighbor with cancer who was twice told he had months to live, and is now 7 years past that prognosis. I like stories like that…
