Idle

Appleton, Wisconsin

My wife came into my office and eyed the ten boxes of books.
"Where are you going to put all of those?"
"Well, I haven't decided which bookshelf yet." It was a sarcastic reply. We're still looking for a place to live..

There is that conversation everyone has when they move, what stays, what goes. I said to her that my books are who I am and I'm not planning on tossing them out in my lifetime.

Beautiful light this morning, crashing onto everything, chasing away ragged gray days. The fact that it was 1 above zero for a change only added to my euphoria.
