How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Idle Amusements

Everyday now I walk to work through such bitter cold mornings, but warmed by the fact that glorious "Tit Monday" is approaching ever so quickly.

Last night partook in the democratic process at a "place of amusement" (so said the license affixed to the wall - it would be fun to make our apartment into an officially recognized one, but the $239.63 fee is a barrier. Why oh why the extra 63 cents?). Again left wondering if other voters saw the same candidates and speeches. A strange and shifty business, politics. Not hard to see why the blissful combination of world travel and Shakespearean rhetoric has been winning recent battles of the soul... But where next?
