Happy Birthday Paul

Years ago I used to see the president of the university I live nearby entering his limousine. I would marvel over the fact that if he walked one block over, the urban locals would have no idea who he was. I think about this often, and how it applies broadly - the idea that a world can vanish in a short amount of time or space.

I am in winter break. It's quite a jump. I'm worn from work, still. Trying to breathe and breathe again. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it - there's something about breathing, it makes me feel alive.
