i am grateful for any bathroom with paper towel dispensers that work by mechanical means, or have faucets that you turn on or off with a tap. I swear, all I want to do is wash my hands, but those motion activated sensors make me feel like I have to play charades with a robot to get my hands wet, soapy, or dry.

I am grateful for a nice quiet day at my desk, Turkish fare for lunch with my spouse and my parents, and then another nice visit with the folks this evening at our place.

I am grateful for bringing it off. Tonight we skipped Coop’s Soccer to simplify the evening and maxize relaxed family time at home. Just because you can doesn’t always mean you should!
