Yesterday started out ordinarily enough. Up early for work, a shower, some oatmeal, a good—no, great—deal of coffee, then off to my beloved basement. Even so, a handful of emails, a nice lunch meeting with a friend just back from a semester in Italy, a great phone call, and a brief respite from studying by way of the annual Housing bowling event made the day quite special, and reminded me just how damn good I have it.
