That was actually just a typical Thursday night in College Station, Sigh.sighyoung wrote:Ah. Reminds me of the "Plantation Night" Greek celebration at Texas A & M shortly before my wife and I interviewed for jobs there. After the "servants" blacked up for that one, there was a shortage of greasepaint and burnt cork in central Texas for quite a while.

Re: Martin Luther King Jr.
This is one of my favorite quotes
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
“No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”

Re: Martin Luther King Jr.
my inkling was that the David Letterman piece on Netflix with Obama and John Lewis was just going to make me blue, but was good medicine for MLK weekend. Nothing earth-shattering, but reminder that better days can be here again.
