Just Us! coffee is the nectar of the gods, the true black gold, and the grounds of my baseline.
For all you Acadia-affiliated people out there, I just ran across this:
We had our Robbie Burns night last night - a week late, but well worth the wait! Real haggis, a piper and lots of Scotch, orkney clapshot, cock-a-leeky soup, and some Burnsian poetry readings were the order of the day. (Along with a tassie of coffee and trifle with sherry and brandy. Mmmm.... )

We're singing this tomorrow for evensong - it's from Michael Tippett's "Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis" and it's a bit of a stretch for me sometimes. I'm sure it will turn out fine.
You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

One of the things that is said to define a Canadian is the ability to go anywhere in this extremely large country and talk about the weather. It's an ice-breaker, (no pun intended!) but its also something we all experience together: when it's raining, or snowy, or -40 gazillion out, both you and I have to deal with it. Shared experiences are the cornerstone to building relationships. For example, you may work with someone for years, but its not until you go on that week-long conference with him/her that you get to know them. We can talk about it later, reminisce over a bad (or good) restaurant, little things where we find common ground to build on. When we continue to have shared experiences, our relationships grow stronger - especially if the experiences are testing or trying in some way.
