First Day of Bloggin


So its my first day of doing "this" and think that it will be a good way as I have yet moved once again and in the beginning of my PhD to track my thoughts and experiences in a collective way -- here goes............... this picture tugs at my heart -- I miss New York and spent way too much time down by the GW trying to tire out my dog. This little red lighthouse for those who arent familiar is a symbol of resiliency - I am going to try and remember the story so here goes, but for those who want a factual telling there is a children's book calle the little read light house and the big grey bridge. Anyway when "they" wanted to build the bridge to connect upper manhattan to new jersey the lighthouse was going to be torn down, but the neighbors of the lighthouse resisted and said there could be both - now once a year there is a little red light house celebration commemorating how great this structure is! So needless to say I am looking for pieces like this in my new surroundings to give me my bearings:)
