Scrappy little wildflowers

Nobody planted them. Nobody said, here's a nice spot of ground for you to grow and we'll come water you to make life easier. These scrappy little wildflowers just wanted to grow and so they found a place for themselves and did. And not only did they grow, they blossomed. And now the world -- even just this little part of the world that is a road -- is a better place.

Afternoon with a Senator

He spoke of heads of state and powers of Congress and problems in campaigns and working with Democrats and negotiating for Hill Air Force Base and e-mailing Romney and the finance committee and deficits and what happened in '96 and the importance of the next debate.
And I was impressed.

Is this awesome or what?

We got a little taste of New York City life last weekend. How 'bout this view from the roof-top balcony? And then there are plays and biking in Central Park and eating desserts that melt in your mouth and soul food. And concerts in Central Park with 60,000 of your fellow fans.

Nice to know an insider! Thanks, Stace!!
