Hey APW,

If life in the APW office in January was no-chill, February is shaping up to have at least some chill (thank the Lord). For the first time in a long time I’ve had a lot of work tasks on my plate that can (and should) be taken care of while binge watching Netflix. Which means, I got down and dirty with United States of Tara this week (a season in three days?), and it is excellent. I should have known, with Diablo Cody as showrunner. Otherwise, I’ve generally had time to chill with my kids and work on projects around the house. (Yes, like everyone else, I’m way into decluttering right now. Of course, that’s been a lifelong interest, but now it’s trendy.)

Here is to chill (but not outside), and your open thread. Take it to the chorus.
