Micah 6:8

Yes, your life matters.
Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
What a day in history! On 14 December 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his team reached the South Pole. They were the first men in recorded history to stand at that antipodean apex. What an amazing accomplishment.
A mere thirty four days later, the Terra Nova expedition, led by the intrepid Captain Robert Falcon Scott (yes, Scott of the Antarctic) arrived at the same point - albeit a disappointing point for them. I suppose it might be a bit snotty (cruel is too strong a word here), but why not revel in the icy cold and the amazing adventures of these explorers by listening to the seventh symphony of Ralph Vaughan Williams, titled by the composer as Sinfonia Antartica (Antarctic Symphony). I get chilled every time I listen to it.
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
