Another spring break has come and gone. While I decided it wasn't in the best interests of my bank account to go to Germany or California (isn't this always the case?), it was still an enjoyable, busy, relaxing(?) week, full of nights that never ended before four a.m. and mornings that never began until noon. The end of the break also marked the end of Samuel's extended visit. We failed in convincing him to stick around (or maybe it was those icy roads that convinced him otherwise), so he's back in NC for the remainder of his six or so months with the Marines. Then we can go to India.

In other news, I'm more than likely going to see Eric Clapton this summer. Since he's easily one of the greatest guitarists ever and a musical god, this is obviously pretty cool. I was going to go see Tom Petty again (I still might), but since I've seen him twice already, Clapton gets the priority here.

-----
Together they had overcome the daily incomprehension, the instantaneous hatred, the reciprocal nastiness, and fabulous flashes of glory in the conjugal conspiracy. It was time when they both loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other moral trials, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore.
- Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez
