Water or Ice?
I learned a new game the other night as I took a run. Yuki was spending time with our neighbor, so only I shoved off for a good jog. I left about 7PM, and given that I'm a thinker, I began thinking about ways to pass the time. Well, eventually the sidewalk taught me its own game... water or ice? I was amused by the idea of this game because not only is it entertaining, but it also has depth. See, as you run, you are obviously trying to guess whether or not the patch of H2O you're coming upon is water or ice. The complexity comes in when you realize that in some situations you want it to be ice, and in others you want water. For instance, you see a thick layer of what you believe is ice. Oops! That was actually water! Now your shoe is wet. In the other case, you may see a thin later on the sidewalk that shines in the moon/street light. Oh goodness, you better pray it's water. The game can only be played at night and you must live in a neighborhood where only a maximum of 75% of the sidewalks are cleared. I only lost the game a few times (more on the water side than ice...), but overall it was fun. Actually, that was a lie. I took a shorter run than I wanted to simply because I had to play the game. Now, for those who read to the end of the post, you get to find out that I've been accepted to Hamline law school and William Mitchell law school. All in the same day. No word of scholarship of William Mitchell, but Hamline is doing me a favor the same way that John Marshall would. I need to look at their programs before I make any decisions. Water or ice?
