it's a good life, everyday

[bluepapercup]

It's a hot Oakland afternoon here, all blue sky and white contrails. I have beets boiling on the stove for a cold salad later and socca batter resting on the kitchen table. I'm sitting at my desk with a glass of ice water and my to-do list. I made myself a Mary Chapin Carpenter/Trisha Yearwood Pandora station and I'm writing mother's day cards to the many deserving women in my life.

This is a good moment.
