"Work is the refuge of people
Who have nothing better to do."
~ Oscar Willde

"And lastly, in the canter of this region of crevasses, the most
splendid mountain on the lunar disc, the dazzling Tycho, in which
posterity will ever preserve the name of the illustrious Danish
astronomer.

In observing the full moon in a cloudless sky no one has failed to
remark this brilliant point of the southern hemisphere. Michel Ardan
used every metaphor that his imagination could supply to designate it
by.

To him this Tycho was a focus of light, a center of irradiation, a
crater vomiting rays. It was the tire of a brilliant wheel, an asteria
enclosing the disc with its silver tentacles, an enormous eye filled
with flames, a glory carved for Pluto's head, a star launched by the
Creator's hand, and crushed against the face of the moon!"

~ Jules Verne,

"It is extremely amusing to witness
The courtship of the Canada Goose in all its stages ..."

~ John J. Audubon's Guide,

Quoted message said:

From "The Birds of the Northeast"

[p. 190]

She Comes down from yellow mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
When the world went by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling WILDFIRE!
she ran calling WILDFIRE! she ran calling WILDFIRE!

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
Theres been a hoot owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
Shes coming for me I know
And on WildFire were both gonna go
We'll be riding WILDFIRE!
We'll be riding WILDFIRE! We'll be riding WILDFIRE!

On WILDFIRE (were gonna ride)
(were gonna leave some behind)WILDFIRE!
(get these hard times right on outta our minds..riding wildfire)
WILDFIRE!

Been real into old Jackson Browne a lot lately also.

These days.... I'm seem to be afraid, to live the life I have made in
song.....Well it's just that I've been losing so long

"From the herbarium I wandered upstairs into the William D. Rondina and
Giovanni Foroni LoFaro Gallery, where there is (through Jan. 22) a
luxurious show about the French botanical illustrator Pierre-Joseph
Redouté. Redouté, who inspired Audubon, learned from Dutch still life
artists, and was the draftsman to Marie Antoinette.

He produced books of roses and lilies from Empress Joséphine's
Château Malmaison that are among the greatest of all botanical
illustrations. Many of these come from the library's own rare book
collection.

The garden's library is one of the best in the world. I found David
Andrews seated at a table in it, perusing some old books he had just
donated. True collectors, at heart, are the same, whether they obsess
about Picassos or roses or light bulbs."

Through a Sphere's Flatland she rides
On a pony she named Crystal
While the world spins her marvelously inside
On a snowy Iowa night."

My best new fave word I learned on the Web ~

A new generation coined an important word ...
Lamers cripple others, instead of empowering them.

Naming is important.
Putting words to something powerful is important.

To call a Lamer a Lamer
frees one, to some extent.

To call Abuse what it is: Abuse
also frees one, to some extent.

I once write for an editor who was a Lamer.

She made me feel like there was something
wrong with me, as a writer, and that
impacted my ability to write.

Later, I learned that other people called
her a Lamer.

And they, too, felt what I felt.

That helped me immensely.

A powerful Lamer can truely lame.

Naming a Lamer a Lamer
can help you walk again, for many reasons,
not least of which, you stay away from danger.

And that gives you time to heal,
vs. exposing your self to re-injury.

Tom, last night I saw the worst Jim Carry movie ever, "Fun With [censored] &
Jane." There was one scene that made me think of you.

Good luck and have a Happy New Year
