Out Like a Lamb

Today's Friday photo from a random bouquet of spring flowers.  Though it doesn't contain a daffodil, I thought Wordsworth a nice accompaniment.

Spring Bouquet, 2010

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

- last stanza from "Daffodils" by Williams Wordsworth

Give Peace a Chance

As GBC K1m knows, I do like poetry.

Combine poetry, the UK, remote coastal locations and with the right leadership, you get Peace Camp.  Launched earlier this week, the series of installations to be revealed in July was inspired by the Olympic Truce under the direction of Deborah Warner.  Though I think the recordings are intended to be submitted by UK residents, those of us not bound by the Queen can participate in other (counted) ways.

Make a Wish

"There was a star danced, and under that was I born"

William Shakespeare

• Cake (It's essential.)
• A good, warm cup of coffee
• Random shuffles with your favorite songs
• Sunny days
• A good book 
• Your favorite flowers
• A drive with the windows down 
• Time to read the newspaper
• Old Friends singing Happy Birthday
• Curry
• Reading Water
• Starry nights and a glimpse of a comet, and
• Many happy returns

Odd March

Between the early morning rise, a private screening of the Hunger Games, a road trip, a haircut, and a margarita the size of my counterpart's head, I was remiss in posting anything about books or reading.

Despite my failure to write, I did manage to spend quite a bit of time discussing The Hunger Games (book versus movie) and getting this recommendation for a non-fiction read, An Anatomy of Addiction by Howard Merkel.  [I'll admit that my first draft had the book title as Anatomy of Addition. I have a feeling that wouldn't make a best sellers list.]
