From the Thomas Kinkade thread:

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.  ~ Henry David Thoreau

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines. ~ Satchel Paige

Today I discovered that Chicago has a stained glass museum! Beautiful stuff, lots of examples from the early 20th century:

The museum of Fine Arts in Ghent has a very good exhibition on Ford Madox Brown.
Rather stiff historical/mythological scenes, some very strange and haunting landscapes, several brillant portraits...combine in a very welcome show of discoveries.



The pretty baa-lambs is Madox Brown at his best.

You have to write on the cassette tape its content?
(making mixed tapes were so much fun...)
Or that they are "obsolete"?...
