Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me with tar and feathers.
On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

As Mr. Spock might say, “Fascinating!”
Here is a little light reading for the day after Earth Day, a short story by Stephen Vincent Benet called By the Waters of Babylon.
Believe it or not, Benet wrote it way back in 1937.
I read. I wondered. I didn't weep, but I teared up. Fascinating, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I reached my present age having never before read this. It's powerful stuff.
Pat, it is even more fascinating when you consider that the atomic age did not begin (at least in the perception of the world at large) until 1945.
