I'm sure those delicious looking blueberry pancakes helped to revive you! :-)) Such a gorgeous paddle you two did the following day. I love the translucent wings of the damselflies. You have explored every gorgeous bit of Acadia -- one of these days we're going to be following in your footsteps.

I don't see any sugar connection but most likely a blood pressure drop when I went from standing to sitting, so a dose adjustment to a BP med was in order and seems to be better for me.
