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)

Highland Smallpipes
It's time to say good-bye to an old friend. Here's a picture of the set of Scottish Highland Small-Pipes I've just put up for sale on eBay. The poor little thing has languished in the back of my closet for more years than I care to confess, and now I am trying to find her a more attentive home. If you're interested, please bid. She's a lovely girl, and deserves better than I've given her.
