central time

being 1 hour behind makes every thing easier, everybody more easy going. 

cute or not cute?

a ornery old man barely tolerates my questioning and exam but at the end says, "Valli, come here." Then gives me a large hug and a kiss that lands on my ear. 

the more we think we will change

the more we make the same mistakes.

perhaps what we should do is stop thinking of them as mistakes.
