Of course, I had <strong>no<\/strong> idea that we were searching for identities this weekend but, something along those lines happened.\u00a0 Joseph discovered that he really doesn&#8217;t care about football (even though he was completely stoked about it as he left Friday) or tailgating (whew!!) and I discovered that, given enough time in the day, I become unyeildingly\u00a0productive and return to my inherent artistic temperments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you have children, find a way to be alone for a weekend.\u00a0 I did my share of going out and catching up with friends (until 4am!.. god what was I thinking?\u00a0 I&#8217;m not 20 anymore..
