Charlie was pretty pumped to get to the park yesterday. I won't lie - so was I. His facial expression accurately captures how I felt as I left work Friday night, possessed by the thrill of a three-day weekend. Saturday with Charlie also included reading in the sun in the backyard. I came across this quote in Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast: "Mansfield (another author) was like near-beer. It was better to drink water." Ouch! This made me laugh out loud. I love his dogged pursuit to only write what is true; to stop describing and to just write one true thing. This was a Saturday sans-Croissant, but with a lot of lounging and reading.
