- the sun

- "songs of love" by ben folds

- a herd of deer that ran through the woods (and helayna ran away from)

random thoughts for you on this lovely monday morning:

- leather coat guy:  there is a character that insists on sitting next to me in understanding israel who i call "leather coat guy".  now, i sit next to the wall, which i enjoy immensly.  however, i enjoyed it more before leather coat guy decided he was going to not only sit right next to me, ( Read more... )
