..and a walk to look forward to with my collaborator, Frank.
Good prospects and I feel optimistic and the sun is shining with bright abandon, not caring for its carbon footprint. Equally oblivious is the young snail sliding up my window - what effort must that take?
Buoyed by these events, I put my family name into Wikipedia and discovered a contemporary evidently killed by the Khmer Rouge, having been an English teacher in Japan and a yachtsman (it was from The Foxy Lady that he was abducted by KR pirates). Now I know it's a mistake to always stay safe but the story served to make me feel ever gladder for what I have here, now and around me. If I believed in God (properly, that is), I'd attribute these 'blessings' to His Wondrous Mercy but since I remain in Limbo with Agnosticism, I'll just dwell in the warmth it all brings.
More after Tuesday...

All that stuff about the Khmer Rouge is quite bizarre, particularly him being an English teacher...
And on the subject of religions of the world, I'm proud to be, or at least I claim to be, a raving heathen, combining, atheism, agnosticism, deism, skepticism, anti-religion, and secular humanism.
Probably. (cf end of Brideshead Revisited, where laurence Olivier rediscovers his faith on his deathbed.)
Intriguingly, Estonia has the highest percentage of people claiming no religion (75.7%). In Iran atheism is illegal!
