It is just before 11PM on a Tuesday. Nila has a fever and Sula is sleeping. I am listening to a new Mountain Goats record, new to me anyway, it came out in February 2008, I didn't know. I spent about 40 minutes trying to determine if Black Francis (aka Frank Black) had released any new music but it seems he is hoarding it all for spring or some other time in the future.
Target laid off 600 real people today and 400 imaginary ones. On nights like this all I want is some new music from my all time favorite artists a good story full of imaginary things and this picture of Sula. That is all I need to remind me that winter will end and things will be ok.
If there is one photo of Sula that tells me something about who she will become this is the one. You can almost see her kid looks beyond the baby face, she appears to have body control and is displaying a maturity that only comes in glimpses but is there. There is a hint of the clever girl that is hiding behind the body she can barely control and there is love and happiness in those eyes. She is everything that I ever wanted, it is an incredible challenge to manage but she is the only product of 2008 that is already yielding profits. Profits of the best kind, love, happiness, innocence and hope.
