02/11/01 12:32 PM: Life isn’t all politics. It’s

Life isn’t all politics. It’s refreshing to take a break from reading the paper and watching the news for a couple days. It’s a crucial part of maintaining one’s sanity. Yesterday was the darkest, coldest, dreariest, gloomiest day ever. Today is the complete opposite. The sun hasn’t stopped shining since I woke up this morning. I rearranged my whole room. It feels fresh and invigorating. It’s one of those days when it just feels great to be alive. I hope everyone else has days like this (at least) every once in a while.
