Evening Words, Wisdom and Beauty


I'm slipping away for a few days to Whidbey Island with friends and I'm really looking forward to it. I have scheduled my posts for the days I'm gone and will check in from time to time -- when I can find a computer. May is almost here!


Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.
Kahlil Gibran

O day after day we can't help growing older.
Year after year spring can't help seeming younger.
Come let's enjoy our winecup today,
Nor pity the flowers fallen.
Wang Wei, On Parting with Spring

There is more pleasure in making a garden than in contemplating a paradise.
Anne Scott-James

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
