this time from a speakeasy
one hour
eight people
combining our
wits/skills/trials and errors
right brains/left brains
fingers crossed
big, big challenges
big, big fun.

n is for napping in a nook
napping day is an unofficial holiday that falls on the monday after daylight savings time begins in the united states. the day was created as a way to compensate for the hour people lose because of the time change. this is one holiday that most people can get behind.
studies have shown that one or more short naps during the day can help increase productivity and alertness. it is believed that many successful people in history napped often such as: einstein, churchill, and napoleon.
…that a NASA study among pilots and astronauts found that short naps can increase performance by 34% and alertness by 54%?

while signing-in at the salon
i asked the receptionist
what the date was
to which she replied,
“oh, let me look. it changes every day. this keeps happening.”
(not ironically)
i nodded in agreement and finished signing in.

i ran into this big guy while out shopping
he was waiting patiently for his front seat driver to return.

grandie creates his quilt
stitching fabrics of his choosing
that he’s learned to sew upon
this machine that he is using.
his ukulele sits nearby
waiting for some play
as the sled stands outside
with hopes of snowy day.
