They deserve every day of their holiday

I was in a mood and I was looking and thinking of the best way to define it to myself.
Then my mind leapt up and stole a song. It was plagiarism of the soul. I took something that belonged to someone else, created and conceived for a different reasons and decided it was just right for me.
I've been humming the song all day and it's been a comfort to have this theme song for my mood.
Thank you,

Landing in Singapore in night is a pleasure if one has the window seat. On a clear night the stars are up in the heaven. Hundreds of ships glitter in the sea like an invasion force. And somewhere in between the two you can see firefly-like planes. Six or seven at a time, either going from or coming to Changi. They hang motionless or whiz past

I was walking home, tired and a little dizzy for I wasn't quite well. I was all alone atop a hill waiting for a taxi. I looked up and then stopped in surprise. The Moon had turned almost entirely red while a sliver of light was left like a finger nail. It had been a full moon night but the moon had turned red
I saw my first lunar eclipse

Why I work
"The Roman historian Sallust said of Cato "He preferred to be good, rather than to seem so". The lawyer who quits a high-powered law firm to work at a nonprofit organization certainly seems like a good person. But if we define "good" as helping people, then the lawyer who stays at his law firm but donates the profit to charity is taking Cato's path of maximizing how much good he does, rather than how good he looks." - Less Wrong
