spring break reflections part 2

The day after my party, there was an artwalk in downtown Durham (the best place to live in the Triangle). We saw Barbara at the bull (soon, I'll post our made-up legend about the Bull statue) and watched an incredible brass band. When they play, smoke comes out of their instruments. I mean, just look at the one guys' cheeks on the left! Probably at the exact moment we were watching them play, Arlissa and Allan got engaged! If you were at my party, you met them. They are some awesome people.
Zoe and I met a TON of artists and got to fingerpaint. Her tree is now hanging in my kitchen.
One of my favorite things about Durham is the serendipity that exists there. Last night, on an after-dinner walk, I encountered Will (of Joyce and Will) and Jamie Lathan. I had a few other car horns honk at me, so I kept walking until they eventually screamed my name from the car. I encounter so many people just walking around my house: it's great to live in a COMMUNITY.
Speaking of community, the womens' retreat was PHENOMENAL. I really wish I was still there. Oh well, back to work. . . .

I still feel bad for calling her Chloe.
