The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

I got this feeling...

I am beginning to doubt that this woman will ever screw up the courage to contact me at all. I also found out yesterday that she never told anyone she had an illegitimate child, so I'm her dirty little secret, and the little devil on my shoulder keeps telling me to pursue the matter. But I doubt that I will. So she gets to go to her grave with the knowledge that she had the opportunity to make things right with her past issue of giving up her child and that she didn't take advantage of that opportunity. (I will publish her name here, but I've decided to give her a little more time.)

Today I start teaching. And as everyone has told me, it's not as big a deal as I thought it was. I'm just glad it has come to pass.

We finally got some of that snow I was lamenting yesterday. It's very pretty. And I've had enough winter for one year thanks.

Tomorrow is pretty picture friday. I'll see who comes up this time. Maybe each month should have a theme. I've blown the latin lover theme I started with Enrique because last week was Johnny Depp. But I think I can repair the damage if I do a really good job of latin guys tomorrow. I'll do my best.
