We slide off the uneven trail for the lake where 6 inches of new snow covers smooth ice.    Now the glide kick glide of nordic skiing comes easy. A fairy tale snow falls without disturbing wind. Aki dives and rolls and runs on.

It’s a funny place to think of Memphis bullets but I do.  Am I the only one who believed that Martin and his friends buried blatant discrimination and we saw his mountain top dream come true during the 2008 presidential election? Has the dream melted like spring snow? Time to pray that Americans will realize they are better than this.
