Went to LaZ Boy and bought a new sofa. I’d been fussing with ways to make the old one suffice– the middle seat is collapsed; it’s too low and difficult for me now to get up from–until I wondered “Why?” Why make the old one suffice? I do tend to let ideas box me in. When I sabbaticaled in Ireland in 1995 I kept repeating the phrase, “the trip of a lifetime” until I considered why is it the trip of a lifetime? Why can’t I go every damn year? And I did. 

Pale blue and flamingo in the north that I can see from my study window.
