March Gladness

It’s college basketball season, but who really cares? Gonzaga, Duke, UNC, all the other ancillary characters. Most people actually seem to be on vacation or making big moves or grinding through the doldrums of work or forecasting the year’s travel. Some days bring warm sun while others create yet higher snow piles. The world is in chaos and the local feels splintered. Mostly, it’s a time of the year when the here and now so easily becomes an afterthought.

A new candle, a new way to organize the desk. These are the small wins that feel big to me.
