Mom & Dad had this neat desk. I'm not sure how they acquired it--probably a wedding present--but it's been part of our lives for as long as any of us "kids" remember.

Great Britain was still reeling from religious wars, and it wasn't clear that they'd not resume. One of the many fascinations of Pepys' Diary is the insight it shows into that turbulent time.

Joan and I heard Garnet Rogers when he was in town last year; that was a powerful evening built on what I took to be a version of his standard performance set. Tonight's show, before a substantially smaller audience, was quite different; perhaps more relaxed, differently introspective, with fewer tales. Garnet's a droll story-teller, a strong and exceptional singer, a very good writer--and an formidible guitarist. He played six or eight guitars over the course of the concert; each instrument change had musical justification, rewarded different technical skills, and improved the song.

Mom & Dad were about to leave on vacation--New Orleans, I think--when Mom handed me a couple twenties and said I should get my bike working while they were gone. Not sure what provoked the assignment, but it's fair to say it changed my life....

Restored? What does "restored" mean for a custom bike whose components changed pretty much at the owner's whim? Obviously I'm not returning it to original trim.
