2008: Months of Lessons Learned
January: A rapid detox from Ethics class can be achieved with immediate lunch with the guys.
February: Sometimes you can feel very small while standing by the ocean, or anywhere in Dubai.
March: If a guy you are interested tells you that he knows all the words to Les Miserables, take it as a red flashing light.
April: A Masters Thesis is an invitation, not a bookend.
May: Never presume you are locked out when a door shuts unexpectedly; but if you drive over the river to get your key, enjoy the sunset on the bridge.
June: Haitians live by the hand of grace, at the mercy of a few individuals and a system with only gleans of redemption and hope.
July: Hoosiers love basketball. And for street signs? Not so much.
August: There’s nothing that can’t be cared for while sitting in an Adirondack chair on the porch.
September: Like life, the cholla cactus may at first appear to be one animal, but it is really another.
October: Even while dressed in Notre Dame gear, it is ok to start cheering for UW half way through the game: loyalty always surfaces.
November: The wealthiest county in the US, Fairfax County, can still be capable of great things - - such as being responsible for the first use of the words “President-Elect Obama!”
December: Unlike intestinal parasites, the gesture of hospitality can make you a victim of the host’s pathology, but in loving friendship all things can be conqured.

Last night my son was helping my with laundry. Every time he put an item in the washing machine he said, "Baska-baw." It's in our blood. And no, we don't care much for street signs either.
