Quickie

I'm here...quiet, reading, working feverishly to wrap up some writing projects. Winter doesn't seem like winter at all these days, all sun and moderation--leaves me with the feeling that the cold will be coming soon enough. My life is consumed once again by derby...our season starts in March and we're preparing in earnest now for our first kickass season. Work is hectic, but good. I've made a lot of decisions that are related to making peace with where I will be going from here. This entails a lot of work and catching up with things that I left to languish over the last year, but I'll get to where I need to be in time. The boys are both playing basketball now and it's an exercise in joy for both of them. There are few things I love more than watching how happy they are when they move, all action and enthusiasm, grinning and dribbling down the court at the rec center. As usual, it seems there are not enough hours in the day to get done what needs doing. I know I don't say much, and I'm probably a spotty friend even at my best, but I'm still keeping up with you all as well as I can. I miss you and I love you. I may not have much to say, but I'm always glad to know you are here with me.

Oh that's a sweetness to imagine, your boys in motion.

It's good to read you again, Cate, however briefly. May I ask, what is the derby? No rush, just when you have time. Hugs and love, Lisa

Everytime I catch the show "Rollergirls" on A&E I think of you guys. :-)

I like having a picture in my mind of your home, of your boys' current stages (tho lord knows how quickly that's dated) and of the surrounding geography. When I read your posts, I can see you at your computer, in the nook of your wonderful kitchen, the southern sun beyond your windows. Our hearts are all wrapped up together, through better and worse. A good thing, when ultimately what remains of us is love.
