My intention was to gift you with music tonight. Folk music led to Irish folk music which in turn led to a tune called "Tim Finnegans Wake". This was written by James Joyce. His friends at the time thought he had lost his mind. I loved the tune and especially the lyrics.

Skipping past an afternoon without music production. I offer as my evening gift a quote from James Joyce:

"Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead"

These are the kind of battles I have been fighting all week! I hope I too will win them. Time will tell.

Mental battles tend to stretch previously known truths. Insecurity grows when you must consider that you may be wrong. I really don't like those thoughts. But they come regardless.

My life has been mostly futile. I have done nothing worth mentioning. But tonight, I have a new project. I wish to explore the life and times of James Joyce. I hope to learn his music.

For tonight's beauty I offer a new photo:
