Sandy Cove retreat

Normally, I don’t much enjoy faculty retreats. Now I like the company but it usually entails lots of sitting and takes me away from home. But, this year we are at Sandy Cove (a retreat on the top of the Chesapeake Bay). Had my coffee, paper, bible, etc. this am out on the peaceful dock. Water was calm. Ospreys in their nest; a blue heron picking up fish on the shore. Warm sun at my back. With the exception of not having my wife by my side, it couldn’t get a whole lot better…well the coffee could have been better but I can’t be too picky.
