It's Always Green Somewhere
A poet from long, long ago (1600's) was known for saying many things, one of which was: "Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." His name was Pedro Calderón de la Barca y Barreda González de Henao Ruiz de Blasco y Riaño. Someone in his family must have been...

On The Night Watch
The night is quiet tonight after the rain. There are no noises tonight. It is after midnight, the doors are closed, no cars roll up or down the street.

The Czech Side
It is fun to surmise from whence one came in the far distant past and imagine what it was like then and how times got from then to now. One can go only so far back with old photos, old letters, old family tales, but the more one learns, the more one wants to know. Curiosity builds on curiosity just...

Invite To An Outing
First day in a while that I have felt like anything other than an old decrepit geriatric.
