There isn’t much to write about at the moment, but the mind is sort of wandering… heard a song on the radio a while back with a chorus that struck me as being sound advice: “You’ve got to dance like nobody’s watching, sing like you don’t need the money, and love like you’ll never get hurt”… It’s an odd phenomenom that having advanced so much over the centuries, the idea of living in a cabin on a mountain is so appealing. I’ll read anything I can find about space, energy, engineering, and whatnot, but if I was completely cut off from the modern world I don’t think I’d really miss it… Sheryl Crow is probably not the most profound of songwriters, but the line “it’s not having what you want, but wanting what you’ve got” is one that’s worth giving some thought to… Creamer’s Refuge in Fairbanks should be filling up again with thousands upon thousands of geese and cranes. The thought of going for a run with the sound of cranes calling out before before spending the evening drinking hot chocolate and reading a book in the University Coffeehouse with some local musicians playing is a happy one — that was a good life to live, even if only briefly… Despite the somewhat down-tone of this entry, life is going very well right now. It may be human nature to focus on what could be better, but stepping back a bit to look at the bigger picture I can’t immediately think of anyone I’d want to trade places with.
