Whatnot

I'm going to use a nerdy analogy that will absolutely date me. Anyone remember Super Mario Bros. 2 for Nintendo? In this game Luigi is the lousiest character (each character's abilities vary). His goofiest trait is his jump. He jumps really high and his feet keep running while he is in the air...and he takes a little while to com down. anyway. i've felt like we are luigi just before he hits the ground. as if we've been coming down feet running non-stop...almost to the ground...except "bam" ....the ground dissappears from under luigi's feet and he continues to to fall (still moving forward and still moving his feet).

Okay. Lame analogy, I know. The point is that the basis on which we were here has fundamentally changed with the recent events re: Hope. And so we find ourselves very open to a few possibilities. Still, I'm not stressing. I'm not worried. It's the easiest "everything is up in the air" era I've ever been a part of. And I kind of like it.
