In her words, it's "your chance to share something that's currently meaningful to you... a song, a video, a poem, a book, a movie, a person... or anything that's gotten into your head and you can't get rid of." I had several ideas I was going to go with today, first being this:
It's a Vietnamese sandwich called bánh mi and it's freakin delicious. How is it inspiring? I'm inspired to have another, duh?
But. Then I ran across this picture from a story run on Boston.com last Febuary about construction workers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
And then I watched this video.

Teary eyed here too. Will have to try that sandwich, yum.
ReplyDeleteP.S. That guy posting in Chinese or whatever is annoying as hell; he went back into my archive and posted on just about everything!
How lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really really love the look of that bánh mi too. New London prides itself on its grinders and that looks like one that needs to join the club around here. YUM.
