On the road to somewhere, surely.


Can we use that phrase yet? "On the road to nowhere." "The bridge to nowhere." Can we use that without harming ourself thinking of SP, who is now just really a celebrity in her own mind. Oh, wait, she gets the last laugh with her bizillion dollar book deal. Sigh.

So with 20+ minutes on the torture-mill-to-nowhere this morning, I had time to think about the goings on over the weekend. "I really don't like princesses anymore, Mom." Thank God. We had tried to paint princesses in a positive light -- they're strong! they're powerful! they can rule a whole kingdom with one arm tied behind their back!

Okay, so no princesses. However, G did mention that she will send me many drawings from college. Every day. Awesome! But, oh, wait. Our President's weekly address (have you been to the newly redesigned White House web site? It's fabulous!) promises to "triple the number of fellowships in science to help spur the next generation of innovation."

That's great! Let's be a scientist! And really and truly she was the one over the weekend that got out the science "experience" (that's too cute to correct) book and did her own experiment creating her own lava lamp. Now that's innovative, right? And a lot of artists I know also have a keen interest in science (thanks for the role model, Leonardo).

But let's not forget the "innovation" part of all of this. There's the key. There's your path to take, your road to follow.

Creatives, the world is yours for the taking.
