20030614: The silver moon, showing nigh her full bosom wore her thinnest veil this evening; a mere wisp of wind-blown silk shielded the fullness of her beloved light from my eyes. Earlier this evening when she was still hidden under many cloaks of wool and linen, I had an opportunity to see the stars as I have not seen them in some time. Away from the lights of the city, even the fainter stars seem to leap forward, casting their pale glow down upon our planet along with countless other planets throughout our galaxy. It still boggles my mind when I hear people talk as if we humans were the only sentient life forms in the Universe. What a joke; more aptly, what an example of narrow mindedness.

I had opportunity today to take a nice long bike ride followed by a long walk followed by another long bike ride. Of course, the bike ride was considerable longer than I had anticipated, but that, too, can be good. The walk consisted of chasing a little white (and sometimes yellow) ball around mosquito infested fields and woods. It still never ceases to amaze me why someone will choose to play this sport (golf) as part of a bachelor party. I can understand it if you've played a fair amount and have acquired an appreciation for the game, but this is the second time I have been to a bachelor party where there was very little skill in the game by any of the players (self very much included). Oh well. It is and remains confusing.

I also had an unexpected opportunity to chat at length with my father this evening. He's almost as crazy as I am, just in different areas.
