Thank you, all...

...who read the things I produce.

You are my stalwart, my being, because here, where I live, I am being stalked and attacked on the internet by a lunatic--similiar to Loughner in Arizona.

Please...continue to pray for me as I continue to pray for all of you.

Christina Green, please rest now, in some sort of peace

To murder a child, an innocent,

is an unforgivable act of lunacy.

For those who remain, after lives are lost

This is a rendition of the famous 13th century Latin Catholic hymn, "Dies Irae" (or, "Day of Wrath," about the Second Coming of Christ and Judgment Day). This rendition is off the 1994 CD, "Ego sum Ressurectio," and is difficult to find.

This is Gregorian Chant, which I learned at an early age...and sang at a number of funerals.

I urge you all to look inside, and consider all that has been spewed over the Internet since last Saturdy's great tragedy in Tucson, Arizona.

Then, blank out the garbage, and concentrate upon the families of those who lost their lives.

May they all be comforted...forever.

Just for Thought...

You HAVE to read it...

...so YOU know what's in it!

Vincent, through his eyes

For those of you who might appreciate Vincent van Gogh, as I do, I'm certain you'll find this interesting.



I miss you Vincent...and all you stood for.

C'mon, Wake Up: MONDAY MORNING CALISTHENICS

To cheer you into your work-week, something old, yet still fresh!



I was awakened several times tonight with severe leg cramps. I didn't quite dance like this to relieve them, but wish I could!

Beaches

Not quite what you may have thought?

These are Chicago's northernmost beaches along the shore of Lake Michigan.

I begin with Howard Street Beach, because I just could not walk several more blocks north in yesterday's more-than-bracing wind.

Waves were pounding...only the bottom third of this shot is the actual sand of the beach.

The view to the south included Fargo Avenue Beach, Jarvis Avenue Beach, Sherwin Avenue Beach, and on down to the Farwell Avenue Beach pier...with the rest beyond.

The ices floes are huge this year, and the sound of the waves intimidating. Perhaps, I'll go again, soon, on another similar day and shoot video, so you can get the feel of what's it's like to live near Lake Michigan, a formidable ever-changing entity, in winter.

So much for a college education...mmm...mmm...mmm

Makes me wonder.
