I heard part of This American Life today while I was out running errands and getting beautified, and it had a really interesting segment about immigration law. Some of the other segments were about the increased power of the executive branch, but I didn’t hear much of that. Their episodes are available at the iTunes store for $.95, and this one is Episode 353: The Audacity of Government, in case you want to listen to it before I get to hear it again and write more about it.
Anywho, I am having a lovely weekend so far. I’m healing up pretty well from surgery and this week I should be able to do just about everything I’d like. I even had some crunchy food today–just a little! I tore off little bits of my mall pizza crust and devoured them like a little hungry bird. The lack of variety of texture in my diet probably wouldn’t bother me if I weren’t aware of it. Unfortunately, I am very aware!
Also, Raleigh is a beautiful place in the spring. There are lots of cherry trees in the city–the fluffy white kind, like the one in the President’s Garden at UGA. That is possibly my favorite spring flowering tree, and I am so happy to see them everywhere! I drive home down Western, which is a 4+ lane road out of downtown, but it has a wide median and goes by Dorthea Dix’s campus. Both the median and Dix are pretty this time of year. It seems like it was just fall and that winter didn’t last very long.
Hope you are doing well, readers!
