please relax

so... we're in lockdown at school and I'm just trying to pass the time until I can let the kids out of the room. Coincidentally, I've got to drop the kids off at the pool too. So, the wait is on.

In the meantime, we're watching snowboarding movies and I'm just thinking about all of the fantastic snow I'm about to go get this weekend in Bear Valley. I'll be thinking about you all as I leave town to avoid dealing with the leprechaun. Apparently she's in town this weekend, but it's time for me to keep her far far away from me. So, off with William H. Macy and the crew from Palm Street.

For now, enjoy this little one from Hugo Williams. I hope you all have the flashing red lights above your head Saturday morning. That's all I can hope for myself too.


Saturday Morning
-- by Hugo Williams

Everyone who made love the night before
was walking around with flashing red lights
on top of their heads-a white-haired old gentlemen,
a red-faced schoolboy, a pregnant woman
who smiled at me from across the street
and gave a little secret shrug,
as if the flashing red light on her head
was a small price to pay for what she knew.
