Day: December 29, 2017

Bow Tie o’ the Day and I were excited to receive a package this afternoon, containing a book of Miller Williams’ collected poems. We’ve been reading and reading til our readers are sore. This tiny poem, called “Compassion,” is one of our faves. Out of its teeny-tiny-ness, comes an Extra Value Meal of food for thought. We’ve read it a dozen times so far, and we can’t quit pondering its profundity. We’re kinda glad the idea of compassion is repeating in our heads. It’s kinda nice.

So I walk into the kitchen this morning—still half-asleep—to fill my mini-keg with Diet Coke. And whoa! I see this surfboard that Bow Tie o’ the Day dragged home. Bow Tie informed me this is not, in fact, a surfboard. It’s a product called an ironing board. I have no earthly idea what you do with one of these. Bow Tie tried to explain its function, but it all sounded like BLAH BLAH BLAH to me. I guess I’ll have to YouTube it.
