5 Quick Impressions

Five quick impressions of the day: Variable – it was sunny, then cloudy, and back and forth. Mixed up – some students in spring wear, some in coats and jackets. Recovering – heard several people talking about having been sick lately.  The crazy weather is […]


So much goodness in one afternoon

Today is 8 ways to beautiful. Warm, sunny, big “The Simpsons” kind of clouds in the sky. People seem very happy. As I was headed to a lunch meeting in the Benson Center, I spied the La Vie en Rose food truck. As the […]


Seen this week
