Duke

My aunt Karen is the Head Archivist of Photography or something ridiculous at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. I've spent a spring break on campus and an Easter in the chapel, but I was too young to appreciate her life and the simple pleasures of sitting and enjoying it. Art, music, and the beauty of the campus and gardens combined for me to have a great weekend. Friday I flew down on South West and got to sit in on three classes, because the professor of my fourth class, Global Warming, got the stomach flu. Strangely, the highlight of my trip was a quote. Aunt Karen lives in Old West Durham, and this angry looking calico cat was stalking amongst the shrubbery in her front yard. Pointed out, my aunt said, "That's Mabel. She's fearless and likes to nap." And I couldn't think of any description I want more.
