Random Wisdom
... the area of the unknown has been steadily contracting for thousands of years, an infinite reservoir of mystery still engulfs most of the outer cosmos, whilst a vast residuum of powerful inherited associations clings around all the objects and processes that were once mysterious, however well they may now be explained. -- H. P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature-

Home is where the dog is
One dog-owner cliché that always resonated with me was how a dog becomes part of your family. When we adopted Heidi so many years ago, this was almost immediately apparent, but its wider implications have only now become clear to me.

Lime and limpid green
It’s no secret that I am a Pink Floyd fan and I am very much aware that I have been terribly fortunate to have seen Roger Waters perform multiple times. When Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, was playing the historic Olympia theater in Paris I naturally had to go.
Charade You Are
Since I was a kid I have loved Pink Floyd. Seeing Roger Waters perform a classic set from Pink Floyd as well as selections of his new work, I really started thinking about what the music means to me and how much of it speaks very clearly to our times.
