This afternoon, after my 100 level American history lecture, I went to lunch with my friend Nadia, as we do every Tuesday and Thursday after class.
We walked into the SAC and there was a live jazz band playing where the student DJ is usually set up playing loud hip-pop hits. It was the SAC’s Valentines Day gift to the students. How cute!
Next to the band were a few tables of vendors selling “jewelry” and other “Valentine’s Day” things to throw out, I mean stuffed animals holding hearts. Tis the season!
Anyway, Nadia and I ate our burritos upstairs while listening to a long rendition of “My Favorite Things” (from the Sound of Music). It did not seem holiday appropriate, but it certainly grew on me. That is why I have been singing it (jazz style) out loud all afternoon…

Happy V Day,
D
