surprise, surprise

I absolutely love being surprised and I had been missing the feeling a lot lately; from the turns of the world I've borne witness to--repeatedly, in some instances--there isn't much now that genuinely takes me aback, depressing as that is.

But then this came, way, way out of left field:

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

And then this morning, I woke to our first snowfall of the autumn season, which, though expected, still gave me a start. In a good way.

I'll have more on this blog about the peace prize soon. For now, out to enjoy a break from drafts and edits and grad school apps, spend time with friends over in Stevens Square, and wallow in the cold north winds.
