In lieu of trying to belong to any number of societies: Chesterton, Sherlock Holmes, the Inklings, and so on: I propose and establish one of my own. Don your intelligence cap at the door; dust off your logic and imagination; did you bring your inspiration and encouragement? We are shapers, my friends; lit lamps; light-bringers. Bring quotes; poetry should be uplifting and thoughtful, or witty and clever, (or both). Humor is encouraged; laughter is invited back. Pull up a chair. Anyone for tea?

a last round of pictures from my trip

  
 


There are of course, dozens of other pictures, but most of them constitute good memories and not a great gallery of pictures. Not that any of these are what you would call stellar photography--but they give you an idea of a couple more adventures that I had.
