As I Look Out My Window...

All I see is gray. Now don't get me wrong. I like gray. It is the color of elephants - happy, fat and wise. But I am ready for some of this:
Can't you just smell them blooming? I think I'll close my eyes and breath in the idea of Spring...and go eat pizza with my Mom.

The more things change...

you know the rest. It has been one year, to the day, the Friday before President's Day, that life crashed. My health, my work, my sanity - all lost, for a little while. Months of convincing myself that I was in here somewhere and, after returning to my professional comfort zone - surrounded by the most amazing, intelligent, and creative professionals - I returned. Still chasing my future, but grounded in the present. Still anxious, but working on it. Still waiting for the gargoyle's other foot to drop. Man, she is the b.i.t.t.e.r. in my coffee.
