Happy Girl

Sophie has been in an exuberant mood lately. It's refreshing to see somebody who is experiencing such unadultered happiness so frequently--often she is so happy she will simply waves her arms wildly in the air with glee. I consider myself a guy who is generally in a good mood on most days--but I don't get that happy. If only to be transported back into the body of a 7-month old, if only for a little bit.

Thoughts for the Day:

It's still too cold outside, especially waiting for the T to come at 5:30am.

I see one of the Chicago Cubs' players recently made a prediction during spring training that the team would win the World Series this year, the 100th Anniversary of their last World Series victory, in 1908. Doesn't bode well for the Cubbies this year...

I know in my heart that President's Day is not a real holiday--but I have never been so excited to celebrate it as this year, as I just found out I get a day off for President's Day--a welcome respite as I am slated to be on-call for the immediate preceding weekend.
