Today

1. Lounging around in bed this morning. Awake, but unwilling to get up.
2. Reading about randomness.
3. PHS staff buffet. Best people in the world.
4. 49 minutes, 17 seconds. One step at a time.
5. Simon's smile when he saw me tonight. Makes the days worthwhile.
6. Knowing that other people read this blog. :)
7. Finding books (as I'm packing) that I knew I had, and have potentially new use thanks to the new IB Language and Literature class.
8. William Stafford's "Freedom":

Freedom is not following a river.
Freedom is following a river
         though, if you want to.
It is deciding now by what happens now.
It is knowing that luck makes a difference.

No leader is free; no follower is free -
       the rest of us can often be free.
Most of the world are living by
creeds too odd, chancy, and habit-forming
       to be worth arguing about by reason.

If you are oppressed, wake up about
four in the morning; most places
you can usually be free some of the time
       if you wake up before other people.
