another thing that makes me happy: singing ani difranco (“in a coffee shop / in a city / which is every coffee shop / in every city”) in my classroom – alone, of course – because it has a really cool accordion part, and because i am going to become a famous righteous babe someday. then, walked from my room to discover a pudgy little fourth grader standing in the hallway – heard the whole thing – giving me big mischievous “caught you” eyes. later, I ordered the kick-ass birthday boots i’ve been eyeing for the last month – black, tall, eye-lets, with zips. saucy.
oh. and one more thing: read this in the gretel erlich book (“this cold heaven”) today: “it is easy to see how all storms and all loves are merely local weather, how, with patience, one can always find a hole through which to fly.”
it makes winter become the passing thing that it is; it makes life shorter, and singing all the more mandatory.

well babe, i'm glad you are happy this time of year....the eggs are inspiring! we've got to get our garage (i.e. old coup) back in action. I hope you got your birthday package!!! And, funny thing is, I really wanted to include that hat you saw in the picture (yes I knit it). Of course I didn't get yours done in time and it was already late, so maybe you'll be getting an early spring package.....I'll send you the pattern too! Super easy and cool. Miss you! Hello to Andy
