WOW!! Pretty exciting image, eh? Right after I left active Naval duty and settled in Philadelphia, this is what our apartment looked like in 1972. We made quite a cozy place of this third-floor walk-up, before events led us onward into the future. I'm posting this photo only to test a new Epson Perfection V300 photo scanner, which is about as close as I ever intend to come to the digital claptrap which seems to be all the rage nowadays. Monochrome Forever!
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)

Yeah. We were just starting out as a couple, and we didn't have much. Didn't need much, either. On even-numbered days, she got to sit in the chair; on odd-numbered days, she got to sit in it, too. Eventually, this led to divorce, even though we had plenty of chairs to sit in when that happened.
