There are so many things that I've wanted to write about this week: sewing, Mother's day, tulips, They Might Be Giants, free roses. I took pictures, I rehearsed what I'd write in my head. I always expect to have so much time before I leave on vacation, but I don't seem to factor in sleeping. Now I'm on the train, and I'm hoping for a long, peaceful time in the airport with a wireless connection so that I can get some of these ideas out of my head and onto the computer. Stay tuned.
