and easier to schedule

than therapist therapy

deep breath






where do I get that shower curtain?

cuz certainly my house needs more stuff right now

there aren't enough boxes and toys

and leftovers

and boots and hats and skates

and backpacks and art projects and Christmas cards and 

chopsticks and lotions and clementines and perler beads and 

pomegranates and mail 
  
dog bones and board games and 

pine needles  and

that is just what I see with a quick glance up 

from my laptop

Have Peace



I love this song even when he sings it.  Try the Vibraphonic version too.  Google it.  They don't have a video and neither does Stevie Wonder.


Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free


Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth


Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime


Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care


Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today


Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime


Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart


Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime


peace

I like him

"REMEMBER, YOU CANNOT BE BOTH YOUNG AND WISE. YOUNG PEOPLE WHO PRETEND TO BE WISE TO THE WAYS OF THE WORLD ARE MOSTLY JUST CYNICS. CYNICISM MASQUERADES AS WISDOM, BUT IT IS THE FARTHEST THING FROM IT. BECAUSE CYNICS DON’T LEARN ANYTHING. BECAUSE CYNICISM IS A SELF-IMPOSED BLINDNESS, A REJECTION OF THE WORLD BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID IT WILL HURT US OR DISAPPOINT US. CYNICS ALWAYS SAY NO. BUT SAYING “YES” BEGINS THINGS. SAYING “YES” IS HOW THINGS GROW. SAYING “YES” LEADS TO KNOWLEDGE. “YES” IS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. SO FOR AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO, SAY YES."

— Stephen Colbert

Me: "oh?"

Shivers


a slight break in my schedule

has me home for dinner 

for the next 2 weeks


the change in the weather

has me craving warm comfort foods



 my son couldn't remember the name 

when requesting "that stuff that grandma makes that's warm but sounds cold"

he came up with Shivers

it stuck


whatever I make tonight is going to involve

some red meat
and some melted cheese
just sayin




maybe a cheese burger pie

if I can decipher the recipe

does that say dill pickle juice?

I'm in
