A tale of a Mermaid and her Brothers and the strange land they call home --

Thursday Shakespeare
Over at SpainDaily I listened to the most sublime reading of Shakespeare's Sonnet 29, which led me to Rufus Wainwright and this version (the video is not the greatest, but that doesn't really matter...).
I absolutely love him. And this. And you and the philosophers and the mermaid. Did I leave anyone out?
Strange day today dealing with a radiation god who I happened to meet for the first time and who I really like and trust. He is willing to go where no one has gone before - or for that matter even willing to take a look at the map to show them how to get there.
He is young, already a professor and given my natural inclination to mistrust them doctors after my personal Odyssey, I am totally dumbfounded at realizing I trust him. Tell me that I am getting old and feeble. There ought to be a reason for this.
BTW, this is my second favorite, the one that I die for is "Matthew Macfadyen reads the poem 'Sonnet 29'" Then again he could read the telephone book and I will still lose my head over that.
I remember buying Rufus's daddy's album so long ago, when Rufus was just a baby and I fell in love with the Wainwrights then. Beautiful. And Allegra- I am so glad you trust this doctor. You have good instincts, of course, and I am sure there is a reason you trust him.
