Another Monday

…another dollar. Off to teach a little later today. While finishing the dishes this morning I got an idea for, of all things, a short story. But it's a pretty effed-up idea, so we'll see if I do anything with it. I don't know that I've ever written a real short story in my life.

Been reading quite a bit this Spring Break: Joan Didion's _Year of Magical Thinking_, a two-book Doonesbury compilation (including one book called _Revenge of the English Majors_), and I'm mostly through Sarah Vowell's _Assassination Vacation_. Man, she knows a lot, but I don't think she goes on a lot of dates. Of course, she's also voiced a Pixar character, so that's one up on me.

Finally managed to finish unpacking from our vacation. That only took five days, which is truly a record for me.

Easter dinner last night was amazing. Say what you will about Monstro, but dayum, my man can cook! He made cornish game hens with a praline-mustard glaze, stuffed with a pannetone-dried apricot-onion stuffing that was innnnncredible. Thanks, Jesus!

Lex continues to exhibit his inner two-year-old. Guess I'll let him, seeing as he's two and all.

Time to shower and start my day. Happy week, everyone.
