I pulled this photo out of the archives and found myself wishing that we could jump in the car and escape to the Grand Canyon. It's that time in the semester... The final onslaught of papers and projects (some of them lacking clear justification for existence) leave me with a sense of wonder that feels like it's been hit in the teeth one too many times, blithe curiosity on its last legs...
Isn't this something the Grand Canyon could help cure? Or maybe Christmas break? Or maybe a mug of strong, dark-- What's that? You say just do the work? Get it over with and stop whining? Sigh.

I think that missing the Grand Canyon would be a difficult feat.
"Hey, has anyone seen the canyaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh..."
I've never been there, but I have been over it in a plane. That's not the best way to see it.

The best way to see the Canyon is to stand on the edge, walk around considering the sheer drop, and then get on a trail and start hiking to the bottom...
That's the best way - maybe the only way.
There is also, of course, the "arrive before sunrise and stand in the freezing cold while the buffeting winds threaten to throw you over the edge" option, as well.
I am rather encouraged that great minds such as yours also find themselves frazzled and experiencing essay-ADD by the end of the semester. :)

This is also called the "pre-hike warm-up." ;)

The greatness is debated, but frayed around the edges? Definitely. My mind has taken to using reconstructive conditioner in the shower.
