Nighttime walk

I was hoping to walk my usual 3.5 miles or so, but no such luck. Still super hot and humid. I was not cut out for this climate. Here's what was on my mind; a train of thoughts based on an earlier exchange with a student:

That saying about one door opening as another closes? Total crap. First, it's never a door; it's a window, a cat flap, or an attic hatch. Second, stop friggin' waiting for things to open after someone slams a door in your face. Grab a sledgehammer, and make your own hole in the wall. Wherever it suits you, and whatever size you need.
