Listening to tonight ...
"St. Dominic's Preview," by Van Morrison. Great from first
measure to last. Indulging in my play it over and over and over and
over and over ... and over and over habit ... with one song in
particular: "Redwood Tree." In part:
"Boy and his dog
Went out looking for the rainbow
You know what did they learn
Since that very day
Walking by the river
And running like a blue streak
Through the fields of streams and meadows
Laughing all the way
Oh redwood tree
Please let us under
When we were young we used to go
Under the redwood tree
And it smells like rain
Maybe even thunder
Won't you keep us from all harm
Wonderful redwood tree."
(Full lyrics at the very good Van Morrison Website.)

Graduation day
Just one small thing: Today, my son Eamon graduated from the University
of California, Berkeley, one of 36 students in the East Asian Languages
department who got their bachelor's degrees (Eamon's major was
Japanese). I forget the exact words, but after the diplomas were all
handed out, the department chair congratulated the group and said
something like, "You're now part of the community of educated men and
women." What a great accomplishment for Eamon and the rest of the
group.
