The category today, Bloom Where You are Planted, fits like a glove–the kind that fits around the handle of a snow shovel….  ba-dump-bump.  Literally nowhere to go, so one may as well make the best of it and start digging.

Spangles the Clown was nowhere to be found in body, but his spirit was very important yesterday when it was time to “do the driveway.”  Spangles probably has that custom point job carefully tucked away in a heated garage….

“Yoi” and “Double yoi.”
