How many of you are there? No, not how many readers of this blog, but how many of YOU? How many people in the United States have your name? I can tell you there are 394 guys named Robert Kraft, and to me that’s 393 too many. I wish I were like my friend Conrad [...]

I love this Tom Rush rendition of a wonderful song by Steven Walters. It’s about losing your memory as you age. I might have already used it as a Friday Fun post, but I just can’t remember…

This Yes-No sculpture by Markus Raentz is fascinating to me. Not so much for the execution of the design as for the imagination that thought of the idea. Take a look at the site for a better view of the different perspectives.
