“Get around round round I get around… “

Well, “got around” might be more accurate. I don’t like to travel any more.

Instructions were: “Bold the states you’ve been to, underline the states you’ve lived in and italicize the state you’re in now… ” As you can see, at one time I have lived in, been to or passed through all the contiguous states in the U.S. Only three foreign countries, though (not on the list, of course), and those all in North America.

Sun to Blame for Arctic Ozone Loss

Numbskulls in the LLMB have been shrilly screeching about mankind’s assault on upper-level ozone. (Calmly) Get vack in their face with a firm, “It’s not my fault. Blame the Sun.”

DEWI SANT, written March 1, 1994 in honor of St David.

The text, tune and harmonies are as extemporaneously written. I’ve not done any editing for content or to redact either the text for poetic improvement or the music or text for better prosody. It stands as I first “heard” it. St David’s evangelistic efforts, his combat of the Pelagian heresy, etc., are all reflected in the text, and placed in the context that he demonstrated that he considered to be of first importance: Christ and His work. This great 6th century missionary to Wales is a worthy model for us all, IMO, and he and all those who went before and followed after him in similar endeavors deserve our greatest respect.
