Finish every day, and be done with it.
You’ve done what you could;
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
you shall begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

“But the Emperor has nothing at all on!” said a little child.
My high school son is diving into The Emperor’s New Clothes—reading, analyzing, and writing. He’s not one to shy away from tough topics, and I’m curious to see what connections he makes to our world today.

The repetition can be a little maddening for us as parents, but for children it’s actually very beneficial.

A low-end severe weather event is possible early tomorrow morning. It's possible storms could arrive before you wake up, so have a way to get warnings while you're asleep. Revive the NOAA Weather Radio in your house and/or make sure your favorite reliable app is working. (1/4)
