Luckily

Luckily, today started out as a good day because otherwise opening the front door and stepping out onto the stairs only to find myself ten feet away from a startled skunk would've have been a bad start to the day. And luckily, as I jumped back toward the door, the skunk chose to flee rather than to spray. Phew!

And, luckily today started out as a good day because otherwise it would've hurt to overhear a student say: "Mr. M. looks real old today."

Ouch.

But hey, I laughed it off. I know that I am in fact looking older and older. Not just the gray hair, but also I can see it in my face at times. I gotta stop living the rock n roll lifestyle and get me some of that Blue Lagoon lotion. Thinking of the Blue Lagoon reminds me that I wanted to write about more "happy things" so I'll take this opportunity to mention Iceland: Grand Rokk, Cafe du Paris, the Tower, the Blue Lagoon, the cats, the Canadian guy in search of racial purity, tiny little pebbles smacking us in the face at Geysir. All wonderful experiences.

Okay, maybe not the pebbles, but still it was a great reminder that I was in Ice-frickin-land!

More soon!
