A Good Day

So far today,

• I woke up rested after a real, full night’s sleep
• I had a great parenting moment, getting Sammy to try on some new clothing while still getting her out the door and to school without a major battle, and learning something in the process (maybe I’ll write about it later)
• I saw the first spring plants reaching up an inch or so above the ground
• I heard Rush’s Limelight on the radio
• I didn’t need to turn on the heater in my car
• Sammy spelled “red” and “Adam”
• I had an excellent Reuben sandwich at our local deli
• I had so many good writing ideas at lunch that it took me a half hour to transcribe them from my voice-recorder when I got home
• There was a fire engine at the deli which made Sam scream with delight
• We met the firemen and even a fire-lady
• The manager of the deli gave Sammy a balloon
• I learned that Vivaldi wrote sonnets to go with The Four Seasons (via Lynne)

Happy Birthday, Vivaldi, and Happy Impending-Spring to Everyone! (Except those in the southern hemisphere, I suppose.)
