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.

ReplyDeleteA glorious image.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to gaze at it in silence and awe though.
What a talented young man...and you're right! The music was lovely to listen to while gazing at YP's lovely photo.
