...Like Good Wine!

49 years is a looooong time. Kudos to Jim (Jaime in México).  Our anniversary is like good wine; it gets better as it has aged.  Take MY word for it.

Light the Way

"No light, but rather darkness visible" Paradise Lost by John Milton

The Cathedral of St. Paul will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of its completion date on June 1. Unlike its nearby neighbor, the Capitol, the Cathedral has never been lighted at night. To remedy this unfortunate oversight, a local doctor has arranged and paid to have it beautifully luminated on the evenings of May 30th and 31st. I, of course, was among the admirers, shooting away to capture this event. The huge granite building was designed by the French-born architect Emmanuel Masqueray and is situated on St. Anthony Hill. "Step inside...awe is a word seldom used in architectual discourse anymore, but it applies here. The sweep of space beneath the dome simply has no equal in the Twin Cities."
