You can imagine that 2020 was a tough year for those of us trying to find those parts of life that are positive, hopeful and interesting. It would be easy to shake our puny fists skyward and decry the complete lack of spontaneous kumbaya singing in the neighborhood. But then, just when all is lost and we are about to succumb to the snarling beasts of despair, a little magic occurs on the mall in Washington D.C. In the midst of a sudden and fairly intense snowstorm, a large and impromptu snowball battle ensued. Total strangers began hurling snowballs at each other in the largest outbreak of inner children in recent memory. Human beings putting down their differences for a moment to engage in play, for no other reason than to have a bit of fun.
Imagine that.
