An ice crusted plastic bottle of Fireball
One of the first signs of spring in Massachusetts: the return of blazin’ apple Fireball nips.
A tree with a little pink in the sky behind it.
Reminds me of a picture I took just last week.

I’m in his neighborhood for sure!
Ah yes, I’m just down the road a piece from Billerica. My favorite Italian bakery is there.
I’ll be shivering indeed
I’m just outside the city. It’s bonkers.

Listening to the radio w/ your writer dad.
My kid: If he stays there will be trouble. If he goes there will be double. He should probably just stay.
Me: Well, the fact that he keeps asking indicates he’s not really looking for an answer—to choose would mean the end of something.

Remember the things they can’t take away
The stone is a mirror that works poorly. Nothing in it but dimness. Its dimness or your dimness, who is to say? In the hush your heart sounds like a black cricket.
I totally see it now. 🙌
Assessing the Prettiness of the Snow How slowly does it fall? What is it falling upon & does it stick? Is your tea too hot to drink? Is there somewhere you would rather be? Is this kitchen too small? Are you missing someone? Does it tick the window? Is your lover asleep in the other room? Is your father dying? Everyone dies— is that what you’re thinking? Have you noticed the deer on the hillside?
A helpful guide
This after telling me he'd gone ice fishing for eight hours last week, that it was pretty good exercise, that he caught two fish. Not a bad day, he said.
I don't fly anymore, my dad said on the phone last night. Next flight I'm taking will be on my own wings.

They've all come to eat from the fee-ee-der...
Hell to the yes
Pretty sure the only thing keeping the Earth from tilting off its axis is the little chirp of songbirds in the snow outside my window.
Sky a little brighter this morning. Bluer, too. Give yourself a minute.
A feeling of belonging is a great gift. ❤️
Here’s to a speedy recovery!
