"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Finis





We think the install crew did a great job. Weather today was gorgeous again, low 70s and sunny. Photos show views of the final product, plus a snap of a dog that toured down to the park to check things out. As always, you can click on the photo to enlarge (then you can actually see things). More to come about Kelly, who had a bad visit to the vet today.
