My Seussical Life for 2004 February 26

Okay. I'm back. I've been on a self-imposed restriction from the internet because I was growing more and more consumed by the computer, and my little muffins were feeling the brunt. I know this because they were hanging at my legs begging me away from the keyboard. But now balance is restored, and I can break away a bit here and there.

Three weeks ago, I started swimming laps in the evenings. I really enjoy this activity, and I feel like I am making a lot of progress quickly. This is only because I've never swum more than 20 yards in a stretch before now. With the help of his own swimming experience and a great book with drills and discussion of technique, Dave is coaching me a bit. The swimming is a great change of pace for my day, and my every-once-in-a-while nights with insomnia are over.

Atticus peers into a cup of crackers and cheese I have prepared for him to snack on. "Marble cheese," he declares, "I am SO LUCKY to have MARBLE CHEESE!"
