I can't think of a better way to start this blog... and this week, for that matter... than a pictoral tribute to Kruiky! These wee little birds are friends of hers, who she met in Copenhagen. Now we all know that penguins live in the southern hemisphere, but these guys hopped on a plane for a visit.

This morning was pretty painful - 10 page environmental law memo due at 8am... I think I would make a world champion competitive sleeper, if only I were given the chance. There is something so happy about being curled up in bed underneath your comforter... thinking about how lucky you are to be in a bed with a comforter... and just sleeping.

11.07.05 List of Things that Make Me Happy: thinking of bedtime... talking to Kruiky... pocket-size penguins... whirling autumn leaves... huge rain drops!

And a wee bit of Locke for inspiration:
"Those who have read everything are thought to understand everything too; but it is not always so - reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections; unless we chew them over again, they will not give us strength and nourishment."
