Beard

Addendum: News flash! If you click on the photo below, you'll be able to veiw a larger image! It's worth being able to see the subtle differences. You won't see daN with a beard any time soon.

At some point in his life, everyone who identifies as a man feels a compulsion to experiment with the length of his facial hair. Sometimes, they experiment with a different style every day, as daN recently did. I particularly like the Cuban drug lord and the Hitler mustache.

Morning Glory

My heart is so full that I could burst. Or at least it was yesterday. As I was walking through the Forest Hills Cemetery, feeling fully the hustle and bustle of spring -- trees stretching and yawning and buds curling out of bed, leaves bursting through buds, ducks and geese bowing and curving and flapping in dances, calling to their mates -- I lengthened along a chair carved from a tree, worn with love and warm with sun, next to my darling daN, and I couldn't contain myself for the universe inside of me. I was so happy -- no -- joyful! Full of loud peace and quiet ebullience. I love spring.

Google and Virgin partner up on the first corporation-sponsored large plan to come up with a "plan B" for our planet's environmental troubles. Gotta see it to believe it.
