Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: bike, sunrise

After a very warm & steamy overnight in Chicago, I thought it would be a great idea to
lower the core temperature of my non-air conditioned body by going for a morning swim
in the lake. So I pedaled down for my first “return swim” post Triathlon! So there I was,
swimming in the pre-dawn hour, with clouds on the horizon and a single sailboat cruising
back & forth along the shore. When all of a sudden, as I bob my head up to breath, I could
hear music. Music?! Typically the only thing I hear is water splashing & me gasping for air!
But no, this morning I was being serenaded by a single saxophone player on that sailboat.
Crystal clear music breaking through the morning sky. A beautiful surprise to make my
morning routine even more magical. And then, oh but wait there’s more… the morning
sunrise was pretty darn impressive too! Another great morning on my bike!
