Sea Horse, Scotland

I used to travel as part of my job half a lifetime ago. One weekend on a trip to Glasgow, Scotland one of the lads took me on a day trip to Oban Bay. The distillery we had planned on visiting was closed -- it being a Saturday -- so we went to an oceanographic centre instead. I took this photograph there.

Self-Portrait with Insomnia

I cannot sleep.

I often cannot sleep.

Tonight, rather than staring aimlessly at the darkened ceiling of my bedroom, I am playing with photographs and listening to music on my MP3 player.

There is a dreamy quality to Emmylou Harris' voice as she sings Going Back to Harlan but it does not make me any sleepier than the warm milk I drank earlier in the evening.

Thank goodness it is a weekend and I can sleep in tomorrow morning with no consequences.

Toronto Night

The subway line was down for the afternoon commute today. I got a nice 40 minute walk out of the interruption but I would have preferred if the TTC had been functioning.
