What she said
Lisa Williams: "I think it's wonderful when people are able to change their minds about each other and not be constrained by history, but to take a bigger, more expansive view, one with more possibilities; one with a future. Forgiveness is a wonderful trait to have; it makes all things new."
Mad About Digits

And the same is true for Sondre Lerche's latest journal entry on his website. Speaking of my favorite singer/songwriter from Norway, ...
