“Consult not your fears but your
hopes and your dreams. Think not about
your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,
but with what it is still possible for you to do.”

-- Pope John XXIII --

Sunset behind Mt. Fuji, Japan's tallest peak
Tokyo, Japan

(I am told this spectacle, known as "Diamond Fuji,"
occurs only a few days each year.
When the suns sets onto the cone of the volcano,
the crown appears to emit rays, resembling a shimmering jewel.)
Some more stunning examples of "Diamond Fuji" are HERE and HERE.

I miss you, buddy. But I know you are now at peace with your dad
up there on the playground in the sky.

A Friend

What good is life if you cannot share
A good thing here, a sad thing there?

What fun would there be if no one could see
The flowers you planted so tenderly?

So let us share our gladness and sorrow,
For a friend today may be gone tomorrow.

Tell him of your care and woes,
Then ask the help of those you've chose.

Listen to every word he may say,
Help him, if you can, some way.

Offer your ears to hear his trouble,
Offer your heart to open double.

Tell him of the time you cried all night
For the child you love with all your might.

Could it be, he has seen those days
When the world has gone a thousand ways?

God shows us to our friends with care,
But be aware of the devil hiding there.

Let the Golden Rule be your guideline
Then you can find a friend such as mine.

Attention all stargazers !! If you're interested in satellites or astronomy, you've come to the right place! Their aim is to provide you with all the information you need to observe satellites such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle, spectacular events such as the dazzlingly bright flares from Iridium satellites, as well as a wealth of other space flight and astronomical information. They not only provide the times of visibility, but also detailed star charts showing the satellite's track through the heavens. All their pages, including the graphics, are generated in real-time and customized for your location and time zone.

The above represents the planetary alignment as of June 5, 2005.

Secret Worlds: The Universe Within
View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth.
Then move through space towards the Earth
in successive orders of magnitude until you reach
a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.
After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf
into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls,
the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally,
into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

OK, well there's no little bouncing ball, nor color-highlighted text,
but you've got the words and the music, so.....Get After It !!!
