One of my fav poems from JRR Tolkien's The Two Towers that I read

earlier today at Tolkien Reading Day at Simple Studios

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

Feb 12^th, after work, I visited a good friend of mine who has been doing my taxes for 20 years.  While doing my taxes, I treated him to Chinese dinner, which didn’t help our spirits much, as the taxes for 2017 were difficult.  We’ll finish them up later and looks like I will owe IRS some money.

Feb 17^th, I met up with a friend of mine, and we visited the Brooklyn neighborhood of Dumbo for lunch / photo adventures.  Weather started out sunny, and then got cloudy and cold.  We enjoyed a ride on Jane’s Carousel near the waterfront, walked around the cobbled streets, took lots of photos and had lunch at a Japanese place called Miso.  Back in my hood I picked up a framed print at Imagic Studio and then home to relax.

Feb 19^th, after my private yoga class at my apt with Fabrice, I headed into Manhattan for a physical therapy session for my foot/ankle.  Then it was uptown to meet a friend and go see the amazing film “Black Panther”.  We both loved it!  Brilliant movie!

Feb 23^rd to 25^th, I visited the parents in upstate NY, and assisted them with many chores and errands.  They are both in unpleasant health and it saddens me to see this.  I also got my hair done at a local salon.  Upon arriving home around 9pm, I learned that both my parents were taken to the hospital, and admitted as they had the Flu.
