Valentine's Day

It is Valentine's day. Mrs. Schutze is off at an Educational Technology Conference in C-town (Ohioans are funny when they call their city C-town, since every major city starts with a C). Bouffer is sleeping on the couch, and I am trying to think of something clever to post. But alas, I can not share the good stories from work, and I don't want to share stories of the past few months without a reason to do so. Nothing's worse than a "forced" blog, you know?

Well I don't. You could live in the Sudan, have leprosy, or be sold into slavery. That's much worse.

So, on Valentine's day, remember that all things are relative. What is cripplingly difficult for you to deal with in your own life can be easily scoffed at and made to sound insignificant by rattling off some other horrible things. And remember, as Farin says, "Die Sonne scheint auch weiter hin Das ist ja grad die Schweinerei | Die Sonne scheint, als wäre nichts dabei".

Now, smile.
