Everytime I start missing New Haven, YDS, and Marquand, I have to remind myself of the fortune cookie I received my first week back in Minneapolis:
Embrace change; don't battle it.
There's something about embracing change that honors what once was while still anticipating what will be.
A few days later, I got this one:
Is this where you saw yourself five years ago?
Honestly, I didn't see myself anywhere five years ago. I was too busy thinking about the present to think about the future. I still have to remind myself to imagine five years from now. That'll be easier once I have some sort of permanent work, but the options are wide open now while I'm still looking.
Anyway. Time to battle the heat, test my repaired tire and try for a bike ride.

Bulls vs. literary critics:
"Bulls don't run reviews. Bulls of 25 don't marry old women of 55 and expect to be invited to dinner. Bulls do not get you cited as co-respondent in Society divorce trials. Bulls don't borrow money. Bulls are edible after they have been killed." -Ernest Hemingway
"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The majority of women (happily for society) are not very much troubled with sexual feelings of any kind... Love of home, of children, and of domestic duties are the only of any kind." - William Acton, British physician, 1875
“A stern man is a stern man. A stern woman is a bitch.”

That is my favorite fortune! I kept it and I even have a necklace with that quote.
