"The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, you're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, and wind comes off a frozen peak, and you're two months back in the middle of March." -Robert Frost

The Uprooted
"Once I thought to write a history of the immigrants in America. Then I discovered that the immigrants were American history." -Oscar Handlin, 1951.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
"Some place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain." -Dorothy, in the Wizard of Oz (playing tonight at the Missouri Theatre).

Lost & Lonely
"Ma'am! Can you adopt me?" -plea from a random homeless man in downtown Columbia. Needless to say, I ran away rather then answer that question.

March Banana Comsumption
The only reason Matt beat me by 9 bananas is because he stopped keeping track after the second week. He probably really beat me by at least 25.
