Happy New Year

Let's squeeze in one more look at Christmas before we leave 2013.  Let's take one more visit to Fairfield (Walk with Ghosts 2013 - The First).  The effect is much nicer at night time, even if the photos were shot in a rainstorm, and at great peril to life and limb.  What a marvelous home, right in the middle of so much sprawl.  A comforting reminder indeed.  Elegance, in the face of so many impostors.

Happy NewYear to all my readers, from the U.S. to Germany, Poland, China, Malaysia, Romania, Israel, Spain, and the list goes on….honest!  Bummer:  an IT guy recently told me some of these foreign hits may just be computers searching for certain key words….for who knows what purpose … but think clandestine, think spy, think nefarious.   So, with that picture in mind, a special Happy New Year to all you nice folks at the NSA.  Hope you enjoy the  blog and if they let you, leave a comment now and then. Or just read, if you have the time.

Mark Twain Quote:  On making New Year's resolutions …  "I'm going to live within my income this year even if I have to borrow money to do it."
