Same trip in 2009. Shot a lot of pictures of Mark Twain, a lot of the Corning Museum of Glass, but the following paltry few of Corning's Market Street. Here they are:
Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
Summer Tour: Birthday Bash
Earlier this summer I did a series of posts on our family tour of several Cedar Fair Parks. That family vacation was bounded by two other non-Cedar Fair events. The first was Liberty Con, which I have posted about. The second is my Mother's birthday bash. Mom is celebrating a significant birthday mile stone today, … Continue reading Summer Tour: Birthday Bash
#229: Tell Me the Old, Old Story
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Tell me the old, old story Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love.

Yellow Submarine in Progress
I don't think this will have any spoilers. Daughter got out the "Yellow Submarine" movie. Watching it right now. Surreal. Seems to be more a showcase for their songs than anything with a plot. But surreal can certainly entertain. Now, if I only knew their music more, I might find some of it more comprehensible. … Continue reading Yellow Submarine in Progress

The Age of Words
It was almost a year ago that I put a note into my possible post topics file about this. Still not sure I have enough to say, coherently, for a significant length post, but I'll cobble what I do have. My original note was to post about "people not letting me read their shirts". Since … Continue reading The Age of Words
A Blast of the Past #114: Mark Twain
If you grow up in the Southern Tier of New York, especially anywhere near Elmira, you you the importance of Elmira to the life of Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain.
