Five things I thought about during my morning run:

1. Bright blue patches of sky poking through the gray.

2. My family trip to NYC to celebrate Emma's birthday. All she wants is to see a show. That's all.

3. Tess and her cello. She was overwhelmed last night. It was the first time she played with a large group.

4. Am I ready for Christmas? No. My cards will be late this year. What can I say?

5. White Christmas Pie. Scroll down. It's a great recipe.
