Today was another taxing, but productive day. The early morning ambulation came off without a hitch and the universe treated me to quite a light show as the sun peeked up over the horizon. It was a great way to start the day.

| Sculling on the Anacostia |
The water was glassy, and that's the first time the reflection set-up has been this spectacular for a very long time.

| Anacostia Light Show |
As the dawn progressed, the colors got deeper, and the hint of fall in the air begged an easy pace to enjoy the show.

| Anacostia Waterfront Halo |
Sunbeams shot through the clouds creating a halo over the post industrial section of the Anacostia Riverfront.

| Sky in the Water - Anacostia River |
The river pulled the sky under the surface and did its part to enliven the palette.
The rest of the day was a little more taxing, but thanks to the practice of fitness, starting the day right, and some help from my friends quite a bit got accomplished. Tomorrow we send off one of the very best of us from the day job into retirement. I'm happy for his upcoming change of pace, grateful for his untiring support over the last two years, and saddened to see him part company with a group of folks who have ground it out to bury our critics in success. I'm looking forward to how the day unfolds, and I hope that the universe grants me the strength and wisdom to honor this great man's contributions to his county, his service, and our little band of merry brothers. It's going to be epic.
