Red, Fraternity, and Compassion

Seeing the good in people...
Compassion will pay off, even in a weird, serendipity like way.

Blue, Liberty, and Pain

The thing is
in a fight with pain
you're never the winner,
until you gave in. 

Snow-Out!

Was it I who was cheering for the snow? Well, no thank you, we've had enough now! We had a total snow-out situation last week in our twin city. The university had to shut down for 2 days- for the first time in its history- to be able to showel the snow to enable people to walk on campus.

And the funny part of the story: my car is totally stuck in snow and I can't dig it out. I was parked off-street when the blizzard started and when I got out of my apartment the day after, the city snow plows had cleaned the middle of our street, making a 3 feet snow wall between my poor car and the street! Any of you have a snow showel I could borrow? ;-)

White, Equality and Revenge

"Equality", a word with a positive association. "Revenge", one with often a negative one. But as you look at them closer, you'll see the relationship: Equal pain.
