wednesdays......

ok, so we are now, as a family, in the school calendar mode......which means that somebody has to drive the youngest to and from school.....and the week has been carved up as follows: mm-mondays, tuesdays, and thursdays.....md-wednesdays and fridays......and so this morning, i have less of a rush out the door because i do not have near as far or as furious to drive.......motoring one's child to school late will get her, and possibly you detention....but arriving a tad late to work .....say......5-6 minutes late.....nobody seems to notice nor care it would appear....unless a client is waiting impatiently......and so i awake on wednesdays and fridays with a palpable sense of calm and deliberate sloth......i will enjoy those extra minutes of leisure if it is the last thing i do.......and so this morning i lingered in the bed listening to npr coverage of dubya's continuing summer vacation....today he is at a spa in eye-de-ho.....presumably yale lacked a linguisitics course in his era......i am not alone in my remaining moments of reverie......the old dog follows closely every time i get up to get more coffee....expectantly...as if he is also adhering to some schedule of his own......wednesday...6:50-7:15 am.....follow mm whenever she gets up to get coffee...
