Pretty Daemmerung

I've now been here in Mackinaw a week, and I have lots more fabulous pictures than this one; unfortunately I'm having a hard time getting the 'picture load' mechanism to work here! Well, that does keep the blog post entry more brief. This particular sunset was several days ago; we've had some nice ones since, but this one was particularly striking.

The water is still a bit chilly, and it's been getting cold at night. But the sun is terrific during the day, and I find the peace and quiet most conducive to an intense and sustained thinking effort. I've been working on my famous Wagner project; after now having physically been in each of the places where he lived, I'm going through his biography (a pile of his biographies, plus his hilarious autobiography) to get a more thorough bird's-eye-view of the whole thing. Rather than one two-hour film, it's obvious the story of his life could easily supply exciting and entertaining adventures enough to fill up a year-long TV show! But then we'd have to spread out our budget, and we'd be up Tony Palmer's creek. Two hours is the goal!
