Catharsis

Sometimes we should all just stand in the snow and scream at the top of our lungs.

Saturday...in the dark (no, it's not the 4th of July)

Terribly sorry for that sad-sack reference to "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago...it just popped into my head. I was looking out the office window at almost 7:30am on a Saturday morning and it was pitch black outside. I couldn't even see the maple tree in the front yard. Of course this could have more to do with my lack of glasses than darkness...

On a Saturday! What a pity in midwinter dark that I should be up and around before 7am. Isn't there some law of Midwestern hibernation? But no. I was wide awake. So I have been snerting around on the web. Here's what I found:


1. A funny brainworm...


2. Today's Poem from the Writer's Almanac


3. My friend Melissa's blog: Whimsy. [Hiya M!]


4. My secret science addiction


That's as far as I got before I posted here. I'm sure I'll get on to Ravelry soon...but that place is a mammoth zone for eye candy. Once you're in, you lose track of space and time. I was sucked in for four hours yesterday without even realizing it.


Would you look at that...pink sunlight through all the grey gloom of cloud. Morning is here!
