"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))

CPG birthday!

I like this photo of CPG with Kelly.  Photo is from March 1993 - taken in kitchen at the house on Claremont Ave.

We were taking a batch of Kelly pictures that day (and  perhaps it was getting a little old from her perspective).

Happy b'day to a v. good son.
