On the Other Side
On the Other SideOn the other side, the sun always shines No minutes, no hour, there’s no such thing as time Where the streets are paved with gold and you never grow old on the other side On the other side, everybody sings there’s miles and miles of flowers and lots of pretty things Where
Memorial for Scott Alan Hofferber
I had the good fortune to meet Scott’s widow Tammi eight years after his death. Even at that huge distance of time I could feel what a good man he must have been. I wish I could have met him but I’m grateful that his legacy has come to me to preserve and protect. It’s an honor to be associated with the Hofferber family. Rest in peace Scott, you are fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Amazing Grace
A classic. Everyone should know this song.
Life with Dad
For my father, George Wray. You are sorely missed this season.
1st haircut
I think I have a faint grasp now of what that first haircut day must be like for a parent. One difference, your single-digit aged child can’t rip someone’s arm off if they panic and go bonkers.
Steve Jobs – Feb 24, 1955 – Oct 5, 2011

Reception at the Sportsman’s Club
This post was written Dec 10, 2008 and has been held back till now, mostly due to procrastination but also a desire to add more to it but not finding time. So I present it now and may revisit it later – at least the photos get published.- mdw 6/2011 After the memorial service for
Faithful Friend
I’m not Byron but I, too, have loved a dog.
Dreams are more precious
Dreams Are More Precious Come see, high above. Come see, high in the heavens. A new star shining bright. Out of the darkness, comes a light. Come here, midnight chimes Come here, bells that are ringing And from some distant shore Sounds of a journey, echo on This is the night They say, Everyone wants

Neighbor Sarah
Another dear friend and extended family member has gone to be with Jesus. Rest in Peace Sarah.
Benoit Mandelbrot RIP
Animations of fractal sets. Go and watch some of these and then tell me mathematics aren’t beautiful.
Mullah on Moolah
Now funny money from Saddam’s failed regime.
Rayode
Drinking irradiated water = death.
Dawkins. Watch.
The pope condemns atheists for Hitler’s deeds? Hitler was a catholic, and a beloved one.
Motivation
He was no enemy
The ‘Greatest Generation’ lives up to its name again.
Old dogs are the best dogs
They can be eccentric, slow afoot, even grouchy. But dogs live out their final days, says The Washington Post’s Gene Weingarten, with a humility and grace we all could learn from.
Gaming no fun anymore
One of the reasons I don’t play video games is that I don’t want to support a morally-bankrupt industry that causes people so much pain.
RIP Kodachrome
The last roll of Kodachrome has been processed. The King is Dead! Long Live the King!
Pascal Campion
Great video interview of Pascal Campion.
Thirst
Many people say their mate ‘made them bloom’ – my dear wife Marilyn was much more ambitious. The vines of her work run throughout my life now.
Piece of the Sky
I often hear it said that parents ‘…would give their child the moon and the stars…’ – my father did.
Hairy times
Unsportsmanlike
This video exemplifies why I don’t like ‘professional’ sports. How does this promote the game in any way? This man is just being an overgrown child and no example to youngsters.
Raise me up
To all of you who have come to ‘sit awhile with me’ when it was the darkest, bless you. Your names are written in my deepest heart, not to be forgotten.
Stolen Car

Embrace Life
This is achingly beautiful and makes an excellent point.
Young brain again
German neuroscientists made a breakthrough in ‘age-related cognitive decline’, a common condition that often begins in one’s late 40s (especially declarative memory — the ability to recall facts and experiences).

Oh migawd. Go look.

Joe Fuentes 1945 – 2010

Children starve and die while we make these horrors? I lose hope for mankind.
The sandpit
Very compelling time-lapse tilt-shift video of New York – taken in several locations over the course of a day. The detail is endless, both in the stationary and the moving elements. The harbor is impressive to watch, boats dancing on the water, helicopters coming and going like mosquitos.
