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)

The First Days of the Rest of My Life: My 65th Birthday, Father's Day, Summer Solstice Road Trip
Watch this blog for stories and pictures from my epic (?) First Days of the Rest of My Life Sixty-Fifth Birthday Summer Solstice A. D. 2010 Road Trip. It covered about 800 miles and 40 years, with stops in Poughkeepsie, New York; Southfield, Massachusetts; Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Cohasset, Massachusetts. The characters ranged in age from two and a half years to ... well ... deceased.
Stay tuned!
