Cabin Fever

N attends the Before & After Program at Prescott. Every year we're tasked with saving wrapping paper, ribbons and bows from our winter holidays for the annual Indoor Snowball Fight.

No snow involved, just wrapping paper. The whole thing resembles family therapy, mixed thoroughly with cabin fever, and drenched in near mayhem!

Midwestern Buddhism

My friend, D, simplifies the teachings of the Dalai Lama for me:

a. Don't be a douche-bag. 

b. Being a douche-bag will get you nowhere. 

c. Be nice. 

d.Thank the douche-bags in your life for helping you to choose not to be like them.

Books & Blankets

It has been those nights where nobody has felt quite right. That groggy feeling left over at the end of long weekend, or the same sensation that comes with the beginning of a feverish cold. Within these four walls we were early to bed with books and blankets.

Long Ago & Far Away

Happy 40th, C.
