Pumpkin-Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These are really good, and not too bad for you. I recommend following the first commenter's modification, which I did: halve the butter amount and increase pumpkin. I used 1/2 c. butter and 1 can (about 1.5 c) pumpkin and omitted the nuts (i didn't try the whole wheat flour; maybe next time).

Rain

from the beginning of a chapter in a book I was reading.  it spoke to me.  glad to not be feeling like this about work.

I wanted to be a rain salesman,
carrying my satchel full of rain from door to door,
selling thunder, selling the way air feels after a downpour,
but there were no openings in the rain department,
and so they left me dying behind this desk - adding bleeps
subtracting chunks - and i would give a bowl of wild blossoms,
some rain, and two shakes of my fist at the sky to be living.
-John Engman, "Work"
