fractions.

1/16 - of the way through the spring semester. so far, so...okay. the classes will not prove overly difficult if i can survive the commute through the cold each morning.

1/8 - of the way to a spring break that includes chicago, columbus, erie, poltney, manhattan, philadelphia, and indianapolis. i could use some time in motion.

1/4 - of the way to spending the evening in wonder as brett dennen captivates at the mews. spending some time in the capital city, as always, will do me some good.

1/2 - of the way to the next pay day. it will be a meager check, but a check is a check, and this world hasn't so far proved to be run on hopes and dreams.

1 - successful week of getting back on my feet after the winter break wanderings. a clean car, a clean house, some new records, and plenty of coffee.

i'm hoping that by the time the temperature rises and the spring comes to have my algebra down. i'm silently plotting equations on lined paper in a steno notebook. adding and subtracting the things that compose life. what happens if the math is off? the breathing continues. we just erase and start the problems over again.
