My "Person of the Year"
My last Flickr upload of the year is a special tribute to Angie Hines. Click on the image and read the accompanying text. This is something Angie richly deserves, and I hope it makes her day when she sees it.
"A world of disorderly notions, picked out of his books, crowded into his imagination; and now his head was full of nothing but enchantments, quarrels, battles, challenges, wounds, complaints, amours, torments, and abundance of stuff and impossibilities." (Cervantes, Don Quixote)

My friend Michelle Downs did this a couple of weeks ago, and I regard it as one of the sweetest things anyone has done for me in a long time.

This is my long-anticipated foxtrot performance with Angie Hines, recorded by our daughter Vanessa, who sat with my wife in the audience. I wasn't perfect, but nothing about this experience discourages me from doing it again sometime. And I got some very good feedback for it as well. All in all, probably not too bad for a 54-year-old man who had scarcely danced a step in his life until less than a year ago.
Today I came across this site, devoted to warning labels which shouldn't be necessary in the first place, but which do provide amusement for anyone with at least a modicum of common sense. That, I'm afraid, represents a declining percentage of the general population.
