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)

Another Sentimental Journey
Here's a rainy-day photo I made on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, during a trip there in 1970 (actually, it was my first honeymoon, may that marriage and my late ex-wife rest in peace). It was the last time I visited that part of the world. I would love to see Cape Breton on one of the two or three sunny days that occur up there during the year, but these things are hard to plan for.
