I would like publicly to thank all my friends who have commented on this blog, and offered encouragement and ideas. These friends are located all over the world, and as far away as England and Australia. But most are of course in the U.S.
After hurricane Katrina, there is another,possibly more dangerous one named Rita headed towards the same devastated area. It's due to make landfall on Saturday, and winds currently have been measured at 175 mph. Truly a terrible, terrible storm.
The leaves are beginning to fall, and the equinox brings to mind a Frank Sinatra ballad about growing older. It's called "September of My Years", and a more poignant summation of life's autumn can hardly be imagined - not even the Chairman's "It Was a Very Good Year" or "My Way" can capture the sadness of lost love and the passage of time. We miss ya, Frankie.
A compendium of images - most original, some not - words, and links, sometimes musical, gathered for the exclusive enjoyment of friends and relatives, some old, and some new.
