simple joys

some highlights from my weekend away. i call them simple joys.

• access to better quality exercise equipment than i have at home made exercise less of a drudgery.


• i saw john kerry.


• conversations with students


• pizzaria due (it's pizzaria uno, the sequel)


• shopping in chicago


• amazing adjudication at purdue (and their choirs are pretty amazing)


• naps on the bus!


• coming home


• even though the boys were more than an hour past bedtime, it was glad to see them and give them their presents

that is not all, and is, in no way, a prioritized list. but, with a smile on my face i look to the past with a smile (and hope to get more sleep very soon).
