November 29. Pale moon in the afternoon sky, like a faint cloud, but round like the things in space.

It hasn’t snowed in Central Park for 653 days and counting. My son, who today sent his first sleigh videos from Sweden, draws the correct conclusion: So since we last played in the snow in New York it hasn’t snowed there?

I’m pretty good at setting myself a schedule, and keeping it. Writing this blog daily for the last ten years wasn’t hard. It’s how I function. It would be harder for me to give it up than to continue. I just need additional schedules. Half an hour a day of piano, for the last three years. Also easy. I’m having a hard time with any schedule that’s not daily though. Exercise multiple times a week – that’s tough to keep track of, and not let it slip. Long-form writing, which I’d hoped I could do on a monthly schedule – did not work. I’ll have to stick to half an hour a day for those projects. Every. single. day.
