All The Years Combine

What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams."--Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-1681), in Life is a Dream.

Happy JG Birthday to you, Annie!

I've always loved that portrait.

It is a great painting. I have always been envious of people with artistic talent, i even have to explain what my stick men in drawings are doing sometimes.
Whats a JG birthday?

Senior Calderon de la Barca is on to something here. I wonder what JG is dreaming up now?
