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)

Life is Good, With the Right Altitude
We encountered this young lady at the Life is Good Festival on the Common in Boston on June 20th. I was hoping she'd turn to face me, but I had to settle for a high-elevation posterior shot. I didn't even notice the "Mr. Nut Roasted" sign until I pulled the print out of the soup. I'm still trying to come up with a clever connection; but, the way my mind works, it wouldn't be suitable for a family-oriented blog.
