Two more photos of books, book locations, and the ever-present danger of The Great Waylaid—posed in the bottom photo. We’re all familiar with the problem and joy of being waylaid by information found while looking up other information. A surprise fact or thought which is of course very interesting, leading to other books, other rooms. It is always a wonder to me how some of us ever make it to the store. I have found that some days I have to discipline myself by saying no books or thinking allowed today! At least until some of the tasks have been accomplished. And then the reward is the pleasure of new discoveries, continued adventures.

Writing The Next Note

Ludwig33

“For me Beethoven must be the Greatest composer ever Lived. Probably he was the only Composer who never failed to realize what the next note should be.”

Leonard Bernstein

That seems mainly true of all great or fine—or even just purposeful pursuits—yes? Sometimes I know the next note, sometimes not. When not there’s a flatness to it, a lack of energy. But we mere mortals must plod along.

Bob titled this “And so it begins.” It strikes me that this photo is so vivid and stark as to make it appear as a painting. You will note St. Joseph Cathedral in the background, right, as a shadow. As if overlooking the whole downtown. And through the years it did indeed overlook the town.
