Dry Spell
It has been the longest dry spell in the nearly five year career of The Occasional Muse. There has not been much to blog about this month, other that the vagaries of Northern California weather. Maybe I'll just keep things moving along a bit by posting a couple of recent photos.

Interregnum
I acknowledge that my blog postings have been sparse these past couple of months. The Muse has not been active, as more pressing matters have claimed her attention. I have taken the expedient course of inserting some links to other sites as they turn up in my surfing, but I find that easy substitute to be far from satisfactory.
An old and dear friend of mine passed away last week, and I am to deliver the eulogy at his memorial service in two days' time. It is tough to see one’s contemporaries ‘go over the mountain’ as the Chinese expression has it. But of course for the surviving family members it is a whole lot tougher.
The Bronze Bell
This is worth a listen. From the BBC podcast of "A History of the World". Takes about 13 minutes.
