True Things

1. Writing for this blog requires me to have a sense of humor about my life.
2. Depending on your perspective, a Wisconsin winter with three boys too small to dress themselves or reliably follow directions can be hilarious or depressing. Or both.
3. I recently read, again, one of my all-time favorite books: Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons.
4. During a horrid scene starring her father, ten-year-old Ellen muses that "If I had seen this on television he might have looked funny but since it was me and real life I could not see the humor."
5. I understand how Ellen feels.
6. Summer is here, and I think seeing the humor might come with it.
