Work.

I have just submitted an application to be a remote "Generalist Intern" for a publishing house in New York City.

Is there any more self-effacing job title than this: Remote. Generalist. Intern.

What could possibly suggest more all-encompassing and yet, invisible, work?

Do not forget that interns transact work in an uneven exchange for no pay. Just for the experience.

Behold! This is a situation mothers know much about. Perhaps that, paired with my extensive love of the written word, will make me a perfectly suited candidate! I am not as grumpy about this as I sound.

As my favorite hockey player says: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Thanks, Wayne Gretzky. I know nothing really, about ice hockey, but seem to be on similarly slippery ice.

Happy Weekend!

Beginnings.

Today our President is publicly sworn in for his second term in office. May the next four years be good ones.

And, my goodness my home is gorgeous in this winter morning light.
