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)

Nora Jeanne Molyneaux, Take II
At the Life Is Good Festival, Boston Common, June 20, 2009.
Who's Imitating Whom?
Vocalizing, June 20, 2009, Boston, MA.
You were warned several days ago. Grandfatherhood is bringing out the Daddy in me, and one of the results is photographs like the above, which I took during a visit to Lindsay and her family in Cambridge at the end of June. So, among the nostalgia pix I plaster up on this wall, from time to time you'll see up-to-the-minute images of persons and things I find significant in the moment. In the words of the promoters of the June 20 Boston Common festival, life, indeed, is good.
