reasonable goals

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

A little cliché, perhaps, but overall things that I agree with. At least it's not that dumb "dance like nobody's watching" business...

computer has been acting up recently so no new photos. more ... eventually?

May is a really good month

Everything is beautiful today. Sunny temperate weather, culinary experiments with Hadley, serious decisions concerning the practicality of adorable shoes, good company this morning and good company to come...

There is that looming paper deadline, but it's not close enough to seem truly serious... yet.
