I'm in this weird state of mind where I feel like writing longer more thoughtful posts but I don't have the time to devote to it, so I end up with rather half assed commentary like what I wrote this morning. There are big, complex issues on my mind, and I'd love to explore them here, but the endless lament of any single parent (hell, any parent) is always, but when? If my posts do sound trite or not quite complete, chalk it up to that, and not to a lack of wanting to thoroughly explore the issues I bring up. I usually don't have too many conclusions anyway. A lot of the fun is in finding the interesting questions to ask.

On a completely different note: one of the dads at the kidlet's school got a Mini! A totally sportin' red and white one. And his kidlet fits in the back just fine. I don't usually lust for cars--I've always just driven whatever hand me down used thing came my way, but a Mini is a machine I can get hot for.
