I had an existential moment when I saw this box of 300 envelopes. They are #6 envelopes, not the typical #10, so I have only used a few so far even though I’ve had them for some years. These envelopes will outlive me, I thought. Life is not long enough for 300 #6 envelopes.

I had a dream last night that my eight-year-old got pulled over by the police because he was reading the Odyssey while driving.

I’m missing last year when I was in Vermont at this time, making so many new friends at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference.

When a customer service rep ends an unsatisfactory call, “Is there anything else I can assist you with?” I try not to be sarcastic, but I want to say, “No, I don’t have any other issues you won’t be able to fix. I entrusted you with my big problem, and how did that work out?"

In homage to Simon and Garfunkel, my 9-year-old planted Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme in his garden box. (And I gave him some of my old album covers.)

I’ve never tracked my steps. (I can count to 100 all by myself.) But I can (and do!) track Mustard’s miles through the pedometer on his hamster wheel. I’m thinking of trying to keep up with Mustard—that is, every day, I’ll run as much as Mustard did the night before. Should !?

A thought while waiting in the carpool line this morning: There's a positive correlation between car length and income. The line must be so long in Greenwich.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for northern Maryland. Wondering how that's different from the other alerts? Allow me to explain.
