i hope we don't take for granted how wonderful it is to have a variety of people in our lives. not that canada isn't also somewhat of a melting pot, but i mean "variety" in a number of different ways. in my own life i know people from several religions, many ethnicities, numerous life circumstances, and - in university - a whole range of majors.
this last sense of variety is what this particular post is about. last night i had a bunch of friends over for homemade pizza and frozen yogurt. following the meal we had a few drinks and played cranium. as people started milling out around 11pm or so, i got into a discussion about obama, clinton, mccain, gore, and the state of american politics in general with two political science majors. one of the guys i know well, the other was his roommate.
i don't think that you need to know everything, or even anything, about a topic in order to have a good conversation about it; however, it is nice to hear the informed perspective of people who are abreast of the subject at hand. last night was exceedingly entertaining, warm, and thought provoking.
thank you to my friends.

Really missing the poetry.
Could really go for a nice head job too. Can you do both?
