It is a tiny river, choked with boulders, and the moves are tight. People don't take rafts here, and even excellent canoeists find the moves too tight for boats over 10 feet long.

Last night I went to a concert of the professional choir known as Cappella Romana, at St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Portland. Tickets were more than I could afford, so I asked if I might be able to check out the singers "without expenditure", and a single comp ticket was promptly offered. I took the ticket, rode the bus downtown, and attended a lecture by the composer and the concert.

The other night Suzanne and I went to a local theater for this show. It's a long one, nearly 3 hours, but it's good entertainment. The story is that of a man who is born old and ages young. He meets the love of his life when he is still old and she is very young. He lives an odd life because it is backward. I envied him in that he was taken seriously as a youth because he looked like an older gentleman. How much better our lives might be if we were taken seriously as children, instead of being treated like wild animals or nuisances.
