Putting things in context based on right now: immediacy, without regard for consequence or implication.
Kuiper joined our family today. He flew in from Oklahoma, and he’s taking over, as one would expect from a puppy. Adorable doesn’t begin to cover it, and Lyra is handling her jealous big sister thing reasonably well. She’ll get the hang of it eventually, I think. Watching them, however, I see so much of […]
Read more "Enter the puppy"Something didn’t agree with me. I usually have an iron constitution, but something went awry late last night. No fun, and made me achy and gunshy to eat anything all day long. Bleh. Dog Brain is the only thing in play when you get socked in with something like that. Your body doesn’t want to […]

A group from the previous round of classes is joining us for their second go at Level 3, so now it’s a much larger group. I’m excited for the chance to work with new people, and the first night was a complete blast. […]
Read more "Improverlap"So there was the crazy speculation from yesterday that turned into more rational possibilities, though still with pins and needles waiting. Planes. Also, Squirrel Brain just spinning out trying to imagine every possible future and make the one it wants most happen. Then my parents got to town for a visit. The timing’s a teeny […]
