Sunrise

Was truly spectacular today. I didn't take a picture because taking one from my house doesn't give the sunrise its due - too many trees in the way. But if you didn't see it, you can take my word for it - beautiful! And fleeting. I'm always taken aback at how quickly the gorgeous colors just wash out as the sun moves a little higher.

Yes, I know that the sun isn't moving. Earth is.

On another note, it's getting easier and easier to catch the sunrise since it happens later and later... :(

Wimp

Today I was walking between my building and Ingraham, where I'd gone in search of lunch. I happened to end up next to two Badger football players, which a) made me feel tiny, and I rather enjoyed that, and b) gave me a little sense of what it must be like to have 200+ pounds of muscle bearing down on you full force, with the intention to cause bodily harm and great pain. If that were happening to me, I'd be terrified.

And that's why I don't play football.
