Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: Cooling down v2

By Ted Grussing

… I got an email from a friend today thanking me for the “cool” shot last night … snow and all of that sort of thing and it got me going through some old photos and I came across this photo of Corky on our bicycle built for two. Location, Bushard Street just north a bit from the beach in Huntington Beach and heading home on a snowy morning before going into the law office. Nearly every morning we biked about ten miles along the beach before going into the office. In our twenty five years in Huntington Beach, this is the only time we ever saw snow … it never rains in southern California? Try snow! This was late 80’s I believe.

Corky was the manager of the practice and I was the token lawyer she kept around to make it look good.We had a great time working together for about 12 years before her MS made it impossible for her to function in the office … since I married her and not the practice I took a couple of years to wind the practice down before retiring at 54, moving to Sedona and among other things being her full time caregiver.

Anyhow, the photo brought back lots of great memories as well as a very cooling influence. PLEASE, if you ever see a couple riding a 2 seat bike, do not yell out “She’s not pedaling” Try something a little more original … something COOL “she’s going to pass you” anything, but “she’s not pedaling”.

Really behind in replies, sorry, and I’ll be out of town most of the day tomorrow, but will try and catch up over the weekend.

Have a beautiful day … smile and keep breathing … back Monday morning.

Ted

I am the dawn, the whisper of winds, the perfume

of morning.

The passing night fondled me, hovering close to me,

softly silently.

The breaking day builds the spirit temple of my joy.

I abandon myself!

A bird flies through the sky, and I fly with it. I am in

each pearl of moisture sparkling in the sun. I lie lazy

on the clouds. And I acknowledge my kinship with

each winged thing.

I see all as one, and nothing repels me, as this new

day climbs noiselessly out of the valley of the night.

Peace lies over the world and over the world of my

soul.
