At the Winter Light Inn...

... it couldn't have been all that bad.

On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.

Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings are.

None may teach it anything,
'Tis the seal, despair,-
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air.

When it comes, the landscape listens,
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, 't is like the distance
On the look of death.

—Emily Dickinson

Now I just read appellate court decisions.

So much more juicy! And they're real!; 1/26/10, 10:05 PM

"It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"

Over on the right side of the wall, I can barely see the outline of three letters. An "n"... an "i".........; 1/26/10, 10:30 PM
