Nice

"The person who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is as his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is as a foreign place. The tender soul has fixed his love on one spot in the world; the strong person has extended his love to all places; the perfect man extinguished his."

-Hugo St. Victor, 12th Century.

Old Guys

An excellent salute to Old Guys. For those of us born as Capricorns, this is, sadly, how we feel even when we are young, so aging is really a process of watching everybody else catch up, while we've already changed two or three pairs of laces on our waders.
