"Coach Bob knew it all along: you've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed. You have to keep passing the open windows."

Having just finished Hotel New Hampshire (for at least the 5th or 6th time), I couldn't resist the last few lines of the novel as my blog title of the day. In a more articulate way than I could express, Irving has captured a bit of my mantra--all words swiped from lyrics--"just keep on keepin' on" and "days, up and down they come, like rain on a conga drum" and, Matty's statement of truth: "It's all cyclical. Some times are good. Some times are bad. But nothing stays the same." Days are still dragging on, but I am enjoying reading, hanging out with Zoey (who is having a tea party with Dora and Grape Ape in the picture), and resting. In fact, this is really all there is to today's post. I'm going to take a nap. I know that soon I will need it. Zoey is curled up asleep on the big couch, but I'll even take the love seat and put my feet up. Any day now...
