Paddling back and forth 'cross the Equator,
"With my Shadow cast brief, on this Barrier Reef,
Care not 'Fwinter goes sooner or later."

Friday's BBQ includes coleslaw [asian or wasabi], cornbread, beans.

News from the dark side - 'The experimenting with coffee beans continues, and sources say the brews are getting smoother and richer by the day. (Still Fair Trade!)
Look forward to some new lunch dishes this semester -- the cooks are hitting the (cook)books!'

The work-a-day world takes its toll,
You may gasp for a grasp of the Whole,
To trade virulent clatters, for something that matters,
Put your hands on the shape of a bowl.
