Love never gives up.
   Love cares more for others than for self.
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
   Love doesn't strut,
   Doesn't have a swelled head,
   Doesn't force itself on others,
   Isn't always "me first,"
   Doesn't fly off the handle,
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
   Doesn't revel when others grovel,
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
   Puts up with anything,
   Trusts God always,
   Always looks for the best,
   Never looks back,
   But keeps going to the end.

it's been an interesting week. I have a lot of learning to do with these beautiful verses. 

I have a couple of things to say, AU.

Sometimes I wonder the purpose of such things. . .

1. The leaves are pretty!  The fall is gorgeous!  Don't blow all the leaves into huge nasty wet piles on the street the day they fall...let us enjoy crunching them for at least a day.

2.  This one is for you, student safety services workers . . .Don't make putting $50 parking tickets on our cars a game . . .its not funny...its not a race to see how many you can "screw" in one day!  Seriously, if only we knew which cars you drove...

3.  We love the Christmas lights!  Please put them up!  We love the ice scuptures, why take them away??

4.  Rec services . . .job well done.  But seriously, friendliness is a good thing, and being ridiculously anal is not.

5.  And did we seriously have to switch from our beloved office 2003 to Office '07?  Us seniors are too old to handle this new formatting of our beatiful technology.

Don't get me wrong -- AU is a great place to be.  I don't regret choosing here for a minute.  Sometimes you just have to wonder who's making these decisions.
