The exercise:

Write four lines of prose about: wolves.

Currently listening to I Am Not a Wolf by Dan Sheehan and it is legitimately one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Cannot recommend it enough. I'm sure reading it would also be enjoyable but Jay Aaseng does such an incredible job with the narration that it takes it to another level.

The exercise:

Write about: fanatics.

Brought home a couple of serious baseball fans from the Island. The boys got into watching the Blue Jays with my parents last visit, but that was for less than a week.

Tonight I spent half an hour chatting baseball with them before dinner, then after dinner took them out to the nearby school field for the second straight night to play ball.

Max can really hammer the ball, and Miles is surprisingly consistent with making good contact.

The exercise:

Write two haiku about: smoke.

Drove past the nearby wildfire yesterday as we approached home - a route that has now been closed. The air smells like smoke tonight.

Welcome back home, I suppose.

The exercise:

Write about: returning.

Made it back home last this afternoon. More or less unpacked. It's going to take a little while to get reacquainted with our things.

And tomorrow I'm back to the office for the first time in a month.
