I had that experience this morning.  I had a wonderful date with the same friend from Cafe Brenda.  For the sake of her anonymity, I&#8217;ll call her Ms. X.  Not very original, I know.  Maybe she&#8217;ll have a better suggestion.  Anyway, we saw the Picasso exhibit at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsmia.org\/\">Minneapolis Art Institute<\/a>.  If you have any interest in modern art, you really should check it out.  I haven&#8217;t enjoyed myself that much in some time, and I think I&#8217;m still feeling the buzz from it.<br \/>\nSo I got a call on Friday saying that I&#8217;ve been selected to receive a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.courage.org\/\">Courage Center<\/a> award.  Apparently, they select people with disabilities every year who are successful in their chosen professions.  It seems a bit odd because I don&#8217;t really feel like I&#8217;ve accomplished that much.  I mean, other people have done much more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museumofconceptualart.com\/accomplished\/\">significant things<\/a> by my age.  But now I have to prepare a brief acceptance speech for a dinner on October 12th.  I&#8217;m not certain I can be profound in 2-3 minutes.  But I suppose it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loc.gov\/exhibits\/gadd\/4403.html\">can be done<\/a>.<br \/>\nPeace,<br \/>\nMark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You ever wake up in a good mood, and then you remember why you&#8217;re in a good mood, and the feeling is that much sweeter?
