Monday, February 4, 2013Tonight's picture was taken in January of 2003. This was one of my favorite outfits on Mattie. I loved the puffy baby chicks on his suspenders. They just looked happy and were so soft and cozy. The chicks matched Mattie's adorable cheeks.
Quote of the day: It is highly significant, and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in identification through one’s own sensitivity with the suffering of one’s fellow human beings. ~ Rollo May
Today I began the process of applying for permits in the City of Alexandria for our May Foundation event. The permit process I have to admit is extensive and daunting. Fortunately I did it last year, so it isn't novel to me this year. However, this year, my desire is to close down neighborhood streets for our walk/run. That is my desire, but we shall see what pound of flesh needs to be extracted to get this accomplished. Doing anything like this for the first time always seems monumental. I spent the majority of the day at home working on Foundation items as well as issues related to my work on the DC licensure board.
At lunch time, I walked to Peter's office and we had lunch together. It was an extremely bitter day out, but walking, getting out of our home, and seeing other people were all helpful.
This evening, I received a five pound bag of chocolates I ordered to take to the conference. We plan on giving out chocolate at our exhibit hall table. Any case, as soon as I put this small box down (the size of an 8" by 12" piece of paper) Patches jumped in the box and made herself right at home. Despite how deformed her face has become she is still the best of companions.
