i played 'hookie' most of the evening yesterday
well, not really
since i was already at home
it was not really 'hookie'
more like work-avoidance.
see, i had spent several days on holiday
with my family this past week.
and even though i had lots of things in my 'to-do' pile
i just didn't want to start in
so i queued up holst's 'the planets'
and sat down with my son
to start a new 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
crouched on the floor
sorting through tiny bits of odd-shaped cardboard
while 'mars: bringer of war' blared over our heads.
pure heaven.
