at vine and bean, again

cozy here in this coffeeshop, but overwhelmed too. lots of work, and too many projects to keep track of. it's been a difficult week, and i need to check myself with God right now before i proceed any further.

overall, i've had an emotional week. a long and tortuous departure from ann arbor, watching v for vendetta with the movie club, watching slumdog millionaire, and then watching the inauguration ceremony. i have a bi-racial african american president -- tears come to my eyes. 

but now, i need to set those aside and work against the clock. before that, a list of 10 things i am thankful for at this very moment...
