Rain; its what make Britain a "green and pleasant land".
"And did those feet in ancient time" is a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton a Poem, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books. The date of 1804 on the title page is probably when the plates were begun, but the poem was printed c. 1808. Today it is best known as the anthem "Jerusalem", with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916.
Blake's poem
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land
Not Daft Punk but my son on track waiting for the start of a karting race at Rye House.
Black and white allowed for a complete transformation of the image from daylight on a crowded track to something more like a studio.
Bit of an Old Tittle, well I've just watched the 70's film Get Carter Starring Michael Cane and of course the titles of the film shows a drivers eye view from a class 55 Deltic Crossing this very bridge in my village! So I decided to recreate the Shot with a 125...
When most people think Millennium Park in Chicago... 'the Bean' first comes to mind. And rightly so, as it is a magnificent and beloved addition to the beautiful downtown landscape.
But on a hot summer day... nothing beats a run through the cascading water of the Crown Fountain... just a short stairway down from and south of it's iconic and highly reflective neighbor. =)
Two, 50-foot glass block towers at each end of an ankle-deep reflecting pool. Cool, refreshing water showers down on anyone willing to get soaked to the skin. As you can imagine... it's a kid's favorite! But it also brings out the 'kid' in almost every adult that wanders close enough to feel the spray. Frankly, it's almost irresistible... and at times... you just have to get wet! =) Pure joy!
Nothing better... for kids of all ages... on a hot, summer day in the heart of Chicago!

Trish Totson (generic head on Barbie body) is plowing through her book, The Last Battle, by C.S. Lewis.
Get Caught Reading yourself! What's the last book you enjoyed?
Popped out with Jill to Higger Tor yesterday evening for an hour for a bit of bouldering time..
So nice to be out on the rock/grit again..!
Ow.. My sore arms and finger ends!! :)
My hair is finished, ready for the makeup. Anna (my maid of honor) and Diane (my hair dresser) and Diane's grand daughter helped me get ready.
Guys, this was such an unfamiliar feeling. On one hand i really wanted to rush through all this and get to the wedding part, on the other hand i really wanted to enjoy the pampering :) I couldn't wait to see Robby, we hadn't gone one night apart in years, and we certainly hadn't spend 24 hours apart! I missed him greatly, my heart blooming with love looking at my roses, and being SO EXCITED over all my preparations.
I love this photo of me curled up, waiting for the next thing, the wedding time creeping closer...
Dave cut his finger before the show - once the band-aid fell off, it was a bloody free for all. I hate the hot spot in the corner, but it kinda makes the shot feel a little hotter & amps up the gore factor.

Here is a video medley from my full body MRI. My favorite part is the heart.
Gen and I got to compare our results - we both have big heads and hippocampi, but she is off the charts on muscle mass. Now we can measure who has the larger spleen (which is the criteria for picking which player goes first in Exploding Kittens)
I spent a full 2 hours in the Siemens MRI tube and got a lot of imagery. To get the video of my heart beating, they had electrodes on my chest to synchronize the imaging to the heart beat. www.healthnucleus.com Full disclosure: we were the founding VC investor in Human Longevity Inc.
The integrated report (with full genome analysis, microbiome, and body fat and blood tests) is in process, but from first skim of MRI, the good news is that Gen and I are free of solid tumors and aneurysms. That puts us in the lucky 70%. 30% of those scanned so far have one, including a good friend, 10 years younger than me, who is alive today because of this scan... as well as the first two members of the SGI board who took the scan. It is a bit tragic that we typically detect lethal tumors when we notice the symptoms, and that is too late in the cycle (as with my Dad and his pancreatic cancer).
I'm trying to get organized, I like having as many elements as possible on hand......this allows each piece to be one of a kind.

After a 64 hour work week and not much sleep, a glass or two of this will put me down.
All of a sudden, she got a Bachelor in economics.
I believed in her, she did not believe in herself.
Hopefully, she will now understand her capacity.
The only thing I dont like is that if I would like to put her in a 2 piece bathing suit I wont be able to. She has a speaker holes on her chest. =[
