• If you don’t add yeast to the ingredients in your bread maker, the loaf doesn’t rise. You can believe me when I say  this…
• The time of my first art class and the installation of the new dishwasher tomorrow have clashed so I am staying home and will make up the class at the end of the six weeks. Teresa {the instructor} is very flexible about this.
• Fred is having some health problems he hasn’t had before.  I don’t want to discuss the details, but one symptom he had has improved a lot and he is having help from visiting nurses. He is also scheduled to see his doctor on Tuesday, but, not, alas, at the house. {I can remember when doctors came to the house…}
• I am sitting here eating potato chips. I just had supper.
• I am on a "The West Wing" DVD marathon. I am just starting the second year. This will be followed by "Upstairs, Downstairs."

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks,

breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.

— Mary Lou Cook

"We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change." — Katherine Hepburn

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

You’re on your own. And you know what you know.

You are the guy who’ll decide where to go. ~ Dr. Seuss
