1. Hiking in the German Alps I did The Sound of Music spin/twirl. Never-you-mind that Maria twirled in the Austrian Alps to the northwest of me. This day was really a culmination of many, many other good days. We could think of the twirl as part of an interpretive dance that encompassed the phone tag-team of cheap ticket hunting between my mom, my adviser, the travel agent and I, a visit from my brother and sister, as well as the fantastic people I met and friends I made while there. A good day of camping, hiking, eating, and drinking.
2. Perhaps it is a tad cliched, this listing of graduation day as an example of a good day. I don't
care. It was a great day, even with a migraine. I didn't actually participate in my undergraduate ceremony as I was out of the country. (That sounds even more entertaining and snooty if I disclose that I was actually camping in the Alps... again.) The point is, my family hadn't been to any sort of ceremony that also acknowledged their hard work, patience, and support since I graduated from high school. These sorts of acknowledgments don't always happen organically as much as they should. It was a good day.3. This last Saturday I had a good day. I went to the Farmers' Market and tooled around some art stores with the fabulous Morgan. We saw pretty things, smelled fresh basil in the air at the market, and spied people dancing at bus stops. Later in the evening I heard some fantastic poetry and speakers with C. and E. of the BCC, witnessed a fine presentation of "That Takes Ovaries," and topped it all off with wine and dessert afterwards. Goooooood. Additionally, I took this ridiculous photograph. Yes, the shades are C's. I'm not allowed to purchase hip things. Seriously, alarms go off.
Cheers.

At the risk of sounding corny I would compliment you on an excellent collection of good days! I too enjoyed that graduation day, and again the corn comes out dare I say proud. I am sure you will have many more good days!
I was pretty proud of graduation day too - because it meant that I hadn't failed! :) Of course, the thanks belong entirely to my adviser. I like the shades...
I, too, want to compliment you (and C) on the shades.
How did you get that fabulous photo of you twirling in the alps?
First, the shades are all C's. They even improve one's outlook on life. Honest!
Second, my fabu friend Mandy took the picture. I'm tellin' ya V, a dream came true that day. A dream of twirling in the Alps....
heh... except there's a big city behind you in the picture. :) It was too cold when I went - I ran from building to building because I didn't have a thick enough coat.
