I am grateful today…

• for ruby red wine and the wine-dark sea;
• for official transcripts;
• for vegetables and greens;
• for my five cats on National Cat Day;
• for my goofy, exuberant, simple dog;
• for the fervor and enthusiasm (tempered with healthy fear) over the approach of NaNoWriMo;
• for Poe and his “Philosophy of Composition“;
• for a good, game, good-natured AP class.
