What I Learned Today

Two words—roasted red pepper hummus and red pepper slices—okay, that's a few more words than two; it's eight for those of us who are a bit OCD.  I was introduced to this smashing combo by a cool vegan at Kinetic named Bob Smith.  Try it; you'll like it!

I also learned that Fleet Foxes have yet to make a song that I dislike.  They uplift my spirit, even with saddened words and melancholic chords. Thanks to Amy for sparking my interest.  I've been needing a new band to carry me through this chapter in my life.

It becomes a little easier with each passing year to squeeze every last ounce out of life's moments—those inescapable moments that stick in your memory forever.  A kiss goodbye before greeting the day ahead of you; getting caught dancing and being silly when you think nobody is there; falling asleep on a cold wet pillow after crying every last tear in your body—the ecstatic highs, the laughs, the lows—life truly is rich and beautiful.
