Wednesday, Mark:

• I love checking things off my list, and I'm *finally* getting this gratitude blog thingee off the ground!

• Adele's "Make you feel my love" just came on the radio, and that seems auspicious.  Like, I'm being hugged by the universe via Adele's deep and abiding bosom. 

• Gus is being a particularly cute fluffer chunker today, and is watching my type from my very cozy little office (where I may also have an apple cider candle burning), and I'm grateful for this gentle little space to work from. 

• Musical update, since I started writing, the next song came on WFUV (public radio out of NYC, one of my favorite stations in the country), and it's the Stone's singing "Like a Rolling Stone."  I really love live radio, and the people who do it well. The surprise of "I didn't even know that I wanted to hear this song right now," particularly when it's generated from a live person instead of an algorithm, is one of my favorite things.
