Saturday Ramblings

Today was a gorgeous, warm and sunny, almost-spring day. It was also a day dominated by sad and ominous news. A college friend passed away and headlines loom about nuclear meltdowns in the wake of terrible tsunamis.

It's days like these when I'm feeling the weight of unanswerable questions: what will the world be like for my kids when they're my age? Is the environment going to cause terrible cancers for them in their lives? Will they make good choices and have the right people to surround them once I'm gone?!" (and the list goes on...)

Then Alison breaks the introspective tension by falling asleep after an evening bath, with the most adorable mohawk.
