Thought of the Week:

It is important to me that my piano babies feel comfortable in my home. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that *hiding a finger puppet in your piano teacher's shower* is enough evidence that I have been (maybe too) successful. (THATWASASURPRISE.)

Quote of the Week, via text:
(Piano child to his mother):
"Ms. Lauren and I really cooperated today,
and I was really prepared. We accomplished a lot."
(Mother to me):
"Way to be cooperative--
thought you'd appreciate the assessment."

Thought of the Week:

Life can be unkind. Others can be unkind, by lack of thought or lack of character or subtly toxic mix of the two. But when at the end of a day you find that the person being most unkind to you is YOU? You begin the next one by taking yourself out for breakfast, and you apologize. You commit to doing better. As faithfully as you can.

It's winter. That much, at least, is obvious.
