My wife's aunt just had a hip replacement a few months ago, and now she's visiting us and skiing. That's tough. I won't say I'm not biting my nails though.

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝
The ground of democratic ideas and practices is faith in the potentialities of individuals, faith in the capacity for positive developments if proper conditions are provided. The weakness of the philosophy originally advanced to justify the democratic movement was that it took individuality to be something given ready-made, that is, in abstraction from time, instead of as a power to develop.
—John Dewey
