In two weeks, so many things can happen. For better or for worse. Unexpected and predictable. Then there are the moments you won’t forget. The news you didn’t expect to hear. The stares. The return to what once was. The snow slowly falling. The rain pouring. A cold that won’t go away. The small things that come in a box. The people who you found to be always there for you. The familiar faces you never thought would return. And then the wonder of new things, new events, new faces. And the grandness of the future.
Things I learned in the past 2 weeks:
Groundhog day is really an excuse for a huge party. And an excuse for college students to create a mosh pit and crowd surf. On February 2nd, the appearance of the Groundhog Phil at Punxsutawney. He says, “Spring shall come early!”



All great things must come to end.
But when you open your heart, amazing things happen. Be ready for the pleasant surprises.


Despite the many food challenges, I can really eat a lot!

And there always new people to meet at every corner

But there are some friends I’ll never forget

The symphony at Heinz Hall is amazing especially a piece designed for a solo trumpet

Watching a large ship sail into the Bay is so much better than watching the Super Bowl

Don’t participate in the pillow fight if you have full makeup on (and want to keep it on). But if you do, it’s a definite great work out. Make sure you wear something that you don’t mind getting full of feathers. You might also want to wear something so that you don’t breathe in feathers.

Legally Blonde (the musical) is really that good. Like oh my god?!
When you see an unguarded balloon, take it asap. It might not be there later.
There’s street cleaning on my side of the street on Thursdays. On the other side of the street, it’s every day except Thursdays.
There are patrolling cops on weekend nights that will give parking tickets. So yes you can get a parking ticket for parking in the middle of the street in the Mission
Moodjam!
Silver linings are in every gray cloud.

It’s a necklace that is a transformer!
