Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Last night John and I sort of had a game night. Rhonda played with Hanna, and John and I played some board games. We started off with Candyland. He plays that one just fine, understands the rules, how to move, etc... He draws a color, and moves his piece to the right spot, we take turns, etc... Then, we played the Care Bears game. The nasty Professor Coldheart kept making us cold! Then, we played the HiHo Cherryo game. He does that quite well also. Finally, we played a little Chutes and Ladders. He still doesn't quite have that one figured out yet. Instead, he ended up just counting all the way to 100, pointing at each square as he went.

I was up doing some reading (while keeping an eye on the World Series game, which the RedSox won to go up 3-0!) and not long after heading for bed, I heard a clump in the other room. I think Hanna fell out of bed. She didn't cry though, she just came padding into our room, didn't say anything. She usually doesn't when she comes in late at night, just stands there. I picked her up and brought her back to her bed.

Here is a rather interesting graphical representation, county by county, of the 2000 Presidential election results. And here is another, only much larger. OK, a show of hands for how many people want this country to be run by people in New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles? Hmm, me neither.
