Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from it more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum. (John Updike, Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, 1989, Ch. 6)

A Good Day at the Chateau
I’m pleased to report that we sold 44 copies of my book today at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Sinking Spring, PA. The proceeds have gone to the parish building fund. Just a small way of thanking the Creator for the gift of words and storytelling.
I’m even more pleased to report that my first granddaughter, Nora Jeanne Molyneaux. was born today in Boston to my daughter Lindsay and her husband Brad.
It’s been a good day and I’m grateful.
