"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))

Lucky Day



Lots of talk about 07 07 07 being a lucky day. In our house we have proof - it's Kerry's b'day! Top photo shows mother & daughter shortly after arrival (07 07 83). Daughter appears quite interested in whatever mother is saying.

Photo 2 shows Kerry with birthday cake (3d birthday, as the cake decoration scheme communicates so clearly). You can do the math on her current age.

KHG = excellent daughter.
