How many of you remember Alexander and his Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? It was once one of my favorite stories, and it still holds a very good spot on my bookshelf. Well today was one of those days, not just one where everything goes wrong, but where it feels like others are making it go wrong on purpose, just because they are mean. Well, for a few minutes I thought words that I shouldn't, then I thought about trying out Alexander's theory and running away, but then I remembered the important lesson that he was taught..."some days are like that, even in Australia." So thaks to Alexander and his author for teaching a six year old a very important lesson that still helps at 30. Also thanks to a Chicago friend who brightened my whole crummy day with a letter.
