1. I've gotta keep my mouth shut

I said something that upset an editor...in public.

And that was not my intention...at all.

And so I felt really bad and apologized...

And then we all go into the city to hear this amazing, amazing jazz quartet, and I'm sitting there all pouty and blue. And the trumpeter who is about a foot from me empties his spit on the floor, and I smile. And then he looks at me, plays and blows me away.

This group was so tight, and had so much verve, and love for their music and each other (you can tell thru their eye contact). When your hear stuff like this, man, that is all that matters.

And then we turn the wrong way on the one-way street and I laugh (I wasn't driving).

Life is full of wrong turns.

2. Paddle your own canoe

Shooting the Rapids, oil on canvas, 1879, by Frances Anne Hopkins We were doing farm chores and driving around in truck the other week with the radio set to CBC, as usual, when I caught a bit of music and Shelagh Roger's comment that it was based on the Caldecott Honor book by Holling Clancy Holling -- long appreciated by homeschoolers as an author of marvelous living geography books
