men at work
"many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. They have retained bubbling-over boyishness.
they have relished wit, they have indulged in humor. they
have not allowed "dignity" to depress them into moroseness. youthfulnesss of spirit is the twin brother of optimism, and optimism is the stuff of which american business success is fashioned. resist growing up!"

urban sunset - a moment of pause
"what is life?
it is the flash of a firefly in the night.
it is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
it is the little shadow
which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset."

my daughter makes her lunch to take to school every morning. this is her sandwich for today along with clementines, and "bumps on a log"- raisins on peanut butter coated celery sticks- and (not shown) fresh strawberries and cream cheese... hungry yet?!

swim the sea,
drink the wild air..."

old well on the campus of the university of north carolina at chapel hill-- unc-ch
"The Old Well -- At the heart of the campus stands the visual symbol of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For many years the Old Well served as the sole water supply for Old East and Old West dormitories. In 1897, the well was given its present decorative form at the direction of President Edwin A. Alderman, who described his beautification project as largely derived from the Temple of Love in the Garden of Versailles. In 1954 the well was given added beauty with brick walks, plantings, and benches. Students can bring good luck with a drink from the Old Well on the first day of classes."
