Dream the Impossible Dream

So it is 10:21 p.m and I am just taking stock in this day. It is the last Saturday in August before I start school. I should have been on the beach today or relaxing at a spa but instead I never left the house. This day has sucked. It was in the low 60s all day. It rained all day (sometimes down poured) -- thanks Hurricane Danny and the Nor’easter it brought with it. I wore pants and a long sleeve shirt all day. But most importantly today I spent the entire day watching TV. I spent the day watching Senator Kennedy's memorial and funeral. I feel as though I have been in a fog all day. I never knew him, of course, but the services were so very poignant and moving. What an amazing man, what a powerful family. Clearly I know that not everyone in the US was as enthralled as I -- being in Boston this week, one has had little chance to escape it. But as a tribute – thank you Senator Kennedy for dedicating your life to serving the underprivileged and underrepresented. You were truly an amazing man and you gave up so much of yourself, and your family life, for public service.
