it's not what you know, but who you know.

I feel that if I were to try and describe this past weekend,

"March Madness" would be enough said.

Final papers, projects, assignments to be done -

Reception centers that either do not exist or MapQuest is at fault,

Concerts too loud to enjoy,

Politics, Healthcare reform bills, (and so on...) that frustrate me,

Cutting my finger.

But despite my rising blood pressure,

and my tendency to stress out too easily,

Blessed sunshine made everything okay -

it provided enough warmth to keep a smile on my face,

giving us an excuse to pull out our
summer hats and paper bags,

the three dollar picnic basket, the red and white checkered bow;
surrounding myself with bridges,
baking cookies and wilted flowers.

And with friends like these,

"it's not what you know, but who you know" that

really makes life so much sweeter.
