The Leaves Have Passed

It is now the season of silhouettes.

The Modern Age

There are too few monarchies these days...

Ah, Winter...

It is a rare treat when you can't tell the difference between Sunset and Armageddon.

New York City

I am not from New York City:

I am not afraid to take two steps at a time.

I am not careful to make work look like not working.

I say "Thank you," and I mean it.

I enjoy people, and I respect them all until they give me a reason not to.

I feel empathy for little creatures, and love for things that grow.

I have seen time pass, and I understand it.

I know to not try to fill the silence; there is already enough there.

John Noach, 69, a Dutch citizen who was sitting in a London Starbucks on Friday, said that in Europe, "most reasonable people" think of Gore as "a lifeline to sanity."

Right Now

In my store, there is a very very hot guy trying on a track jacket like mine. In order to get it on, he had to take off his sweater, revealing his absolutely to-die-for-right-here-on-floor body. He's so hot I melt when he speaks, and I try not to stare at him. Walking around, he's actively inspiring me to start running.


Problem is, I know he's probably related to my boss.

Note

I want God to hand me a note that says, "Hey! You should be a _________! Love, Darleen" Pero porque no lo tengo esa noticia, no tengo ninguna idea de lo que debo hacer con mi vida.

Opening a Cafe

Most people don't have the balls, or don't have the know-how, to do something like this. The people who do something like this often have the balls, but not the know-how. We have both the know-how and the balls.

Maxim:

Challenges are good for the soul.

I do not like Cities.

If I were in DC or San Francisco right now, I would not be able to walk outside without getting angry.
Instead, being here in Kennebunk, I am not able to walk outside without getting centered.
