Over the rainbow: Even though it's been sunny all day, there was actually a rainbow outside around noon. I've never seen a rainbow when it was sunny before. It wasn't exactly a full bow -- more like a band, right at the top of the sky. I looked around, but no one else seemed to think it was all that. It reminded me of college, the day I was walking over the arched Locust Walk bridge, watching behind me because there was a beautiful rainbow across the sky. Most of the students, in their backpacks and frumpy shirts, were simply staring at the ground as they walked and didn't seem moved. I looked around. Didn't anyone care that there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky? Then, I saw Sloane, the campus gay activist, and he smiled at me. "Rainbow," he said.
