I find college towns fascinating, and there's so much scope for this project. I'd love to see the college nusic/theater program included. Do it!

Endowments involve contracts, and the foundation has a responsibility to fulfill its side of the contract or return the money. This lawsuit should be an easy win. I imagine fundraising at New College has taken a huge hit, especially from alumni.

Just had a flashback to a date with my now spouse. His 1st visit to my house, he rang the bell. I looked thru the peephole & he had taken about 3-4 paces back so I could see his whole self & he wasn't crowding the door. Impressed.

Brecht's poem is so much more detached, an observation of a plum tree. Paulin's describes a relationship, if a fractured one. My heart says it's about the poet feeling blocked, but on 1st reading I thought of class divide. Fascinating poem.

It is that community which made - makes - us 'fit,' in evolutionary terms.
The fact that we will pack bond with the roomba and apologize and feel bad when we accidentally kick it?
That's us. That's the most human you can be.
