for my walk to work this morning in the cold. i always forget what a relief they are, these first cool mornings at the very beginning of fall. they feel like a long drink of water. every year i find i've forgotten how thirsty i was for them, for that kind of bracing freshness.

for this song and its accompanying video, which are just---well. maybe i'm not getting enough sleep, but this song is hilarious. i've watched it at least ten times.

for roo, whose constant babbling confuses his friends (roo: "da dah!" t.: "DADDY!?") and delights his mothers.
