You’ve probably heard about the Stanford marshmallow test. A group of young children, about four years old, were told they could have a marshmallow right now or wait and get a second marshmallow. The experiment was supposed to test the child’s ability to delay gratification and be a predictor of how well they would do in the future. The test has its critics. Some say that self-discipline develops later. Some say that the subjects in the test were not typical four-year-olds.

It's hard to know what I'm waiting for, but I'm waiting for something. Spring is late. I would have known this even if I wasn't getting daily reminders in my email of the beautiful pictures I took exactly a year ago. One year ago, all the trees were in full bloom. The tulips were hitting their prime. The peonies were threatening to bud out. This year, there are a handful of daffodils that somehow ended up in an extra warm spot and a sprinkling of tiny tulips.

by Carrie Classon This week was spent with the familiar sensation that I have no idea what I am doing. I just started rehearsals for a show about my column and the origin story for my first novel, Loon Point, that comes out next February. There is a lot of work to do before the show will be performed anywhere, but this week we took the first step. My director, Cheryl, and I are meeting in an old church that has been converted into a community center.
