" To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization. "
--Harriet Beecher Stowe... a link !
More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe: " The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. " and... " Mothers are the most instinctive philosophers. "
Walt's Shoe Repair in Placerville did a wonder on my new/old shoes I just picked up.
Returned late library books... grrrrr. Could have been worse... the Placerville branch library is closing for two weeks for renovation. Didn't get to finish the collection of Sci-Fi short stories, nor crack open the HTML book... where's all the time been going ?
Dinner by myself again Saturday... chili and flour tortillas... yum ! Gail and Chrissy out with the children until 8:00 p.m. - they had hooked up with my in-laws for dinner and brought me a doggy-bag from the new Mexican Restaurant in Placerville that used to be an " Eppies " restaurant. The Elders ( LDS ) dropped by for a bit. Richard went camping over-night with family and buddies.
Sunday... beautiful warm sunny day. The Wadsworth's picked me up for church. Wonderful service and thought provoking discussions thereafter in Sunday School and Quorum. Again... walked home from the Wadsworth's afterwards. Don't remember if I mentioned it before, but Brother Wadsworth was the one who Baptized me a few weeks ago.
" March Madness " reigns on my TV ! Stanford, UOP, and Gonzaga all eliminated... only the University of Nevada remains as a contender from the " Left Coast " in making the " Sweet Sixteen ". UAB ( Univ. Alabama, Birmingham ) in quite a shocker over Kentucky !
(5) visible planets in the night's sky... a link !

Dawn Fancy
Near dawn light inspires
Evokes distant trees afire
'neath cloud dappled sky
:Bobby Nichols 3-21-2004
Path to Reason
Enter yon path's sway
Cleanse aside thy deep despair
Muse still... thoughts perplex'd

" Canons "... Weapons against evil...
" Dawn Fancy "... a Haiku: Inspirational picture of a few trees off in the distance below a sky erupting with golden light on the horizon. Above all was a blue sky bedecked with a series of small pillowy clouds in an interesting formation.
" Path to Reason "... a Haiku: ... Photo of a bridge entrance over what appears to be a creek - being part of a bike or walking path leading into a wooded park setting... not unlike the path I used to jog/walk/bike at Bidwell Park... a link !... that Big Chico Creek went through in Chico ( Northern California ). Much sad thought alleviated in this beautiful urban park setting... one life-time ago.
