Emma and Laura, my cardoon and the first second

1. Emma and Laura are two beautiful human beings without whom my life would cease to be exquisitely rich. This picture was taken at Laura's 22nd birthday party on Saturday. There was a lot of Guitar Hero and smoke machine in Portsmouth, not to mention rain. There was a good deal of rain.

2. My cardoon flowered today and it really is beautiful. It looks something like a gentle blue thistle and an artichoke and it has grown to be about seven foot high and has survived my best attempts at neglect. I took this photograph in the rain.

3. The most wonderful thing said to me today described something beyond the beyond about this next moment of my my life and his "It is the first second of the new millennium to me". I cannot wait to walk in the rain together.
