  • Spring in My Step, Spring in My Heart

    Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.
    -Victor Hugo
    The weather is warming, the snow is melting, I can see the word “spring” on my calendar.
    I am becoming cautiously optimistic– perhaps this winter will end, after all.
    I saw on Twitter that “Round here there are 4 seasons. Winter, still winter, almost spring, construction.” My Facebook friends were quick to point out that before Construction comes Mud Season, and oh, won’t Cassidy be delighted when all this snow melts, our driveway becomes a sloppy swamp, and she can get really, really dirty.

  • A Little Boredom is Good for You

    The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom.
    Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.

    -Saul Steinberg

    The ongoing caption for this photo is “Tell my kids to go out and play and what do they do? Build a snow couch and watch snow TV.”

    Know why? They said they were bored. So I kicked ’em out the door.
    They resisted. There’s nothing to do, they said.
    I believe a little boredom is good for you. Makes you think. Makes you band together to pull a good one on Mommy. Makes for good photo ops.
    Have a lovely weekend… hope it’s boring enough for you to come up with something good.
