February and August are my least favorite months in the upper Midwest. For the same but opposite reasons – uncomfortable weather. February is when the cold and depression of winter finally sets in (11°F as I write this). The snow turns mean in the cold; short-sheeting the dormant brown grass and grating like fingernails on …

Cooper didn’t sleep very well last night. Up every hour and some change. For a kid that’s been sleeping (or at least lying quietly) 12 hours at a stretch for the past month, this has been unfortunate change. An even more unfortunate change, I was up – wide awake for way too long. Got a …
