Well, those two things don’t necessarily go together, but they do have something in common: a balmy pre-spring day and a bust of Alexander the Great, that is. They are both an affirmation of how “the show must go on”. And if you think that is even more vague of a statement, allow me to explain: the weather here today is mild and balmy, and although just a bit breezy, from the sight of the blue skies, the crocuses in the ground peeking out, the grass turning green in patches here and there, and the tiniest of shoots appearing on barren branches of the trees, one would venture to say that Spring is indeed around the corner! And that sentiment, the sentiment of hope for a new season, captures the sprit of the purpose of this blog viz. that “the show must go on!” In the changing of the seasons–Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall–the show does indeed go on!
And what’s all this about the bust of Alexander the Great, you say? Well, I happened to find this lovely monument tucked away on one side of campus during my noon-hour walk on this beautiful balmy day, and I couldn’t help but stop and look more carefully at the image and information of this man who lived more than 2000 years ago, and yet, so great was his mark on the state of the world as it was known at that time, that his name and lore have been immortalized over the millenia. The show goes on!
So, these other pictures are what again? Well, the first is a view from my office window, and the other is a view of my office building from the outside. That third window on the top-most floor, third from right has my name written all over it!
