Silver Linings

For a couple living in gentile poverty with only one wage earner in a stalled economy, it can seem like there could be no way for happiness to thrive.  That is not so.  We seem to have found ourselves in the midst of friends, and friends can do a lot to make you happy.  Tonight, there is a Sewanee alumni gathering that we are going to attend.  We will join roughly 20 fellow young Sewanee alums as we hang out, catch up, and make connections--just like we did when school resumed. 

Then there is this Saturday, when we go to the Old Dominion Brewhouse to join 50 or so of our closest friends for the Alabama Crimson Tide Football game.  Thanks to the National Capital Chapter of the University of Alabama Alumni Association, the entire place is overrun with crimson jerseys and t-shirts.  This Saturday will be particularly fun since it will be the Alabama-Florida game. $5 says the commentary will be dominated by Tim Tebow's legacy.  Roll Tide!

Finally, a real bright spot of where we live is the fact that great stuff happens here.  We'll be there, and we hope you come too.
