Thanks to aedariamti (and Yo-Yo Ma and Allison Krauss) I have had the song Simple Gifts stuck in my head for more than a week. That has nothing to do with this post, just thought I'd share in the hopes of spreading the thought/lyric virus.

( When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd )

I have canoe training this weekend; but I can’t complain.

( no, really )
