Today was foggy.  Dry leaves brown and accusing litter our lawn.  Well maybe they will somehow be a benefit to next springs lawn.  Not.  But I'm ready to do something to bring back the grass.  Not sure what.  It will come to me.

Last night Luke and I had a disagreement.  Something unusual is happening in his college.  Like Obama being elected president.  Something wonderful.  But last night I was pissed that Luke would have to put some Christmas vacation time doing his part.  

A nasty dictatorial Dean has been having his way with Profs and students.  And anyone else under his authority.  He brought in a like mind to support him in his dark ways.  No one has been able to stop him.  But at last,  he went too far.  He fired a chair head who was popular and respected university wide.  He did the deed in his usual arrogant,  high handed,  I'm the Dean and your not way.  

Profs and students are rising up.  He won't get through this one hiding in his dark office like a rat.  

This morning in meditation I saw that Luke was part of a good thing.  Part of standing up for human dignity and respect.  I complimented him,  while still not wanting to use up too much of our vacation time.  

This realization blessed our day.  We did all the rest of our Christmas shopping.  And got wine for our New Years Eve party.   After dinner,  I'll wrap presents.  MKate will come over.  I didn't feel like seeing a movie tonight .  It's cold and Luke needs to get to bed early when he has to get up at dawn for orchestra Sunday at Church.
