An evening pause: Caving in Druid Cave, Cheat Canyon, West Virginia. The caver is David Riggs. The videographer is caver Aaron Bird. The caver who arrives at the end with the ATV is caver Brian Masney. All are world class cavers, with whom I’ve had the honor of caving.
The video is nicely done, and gives an excellent and accurate feel for modern cave exploration and techniques. Watch especially how the rigging allows David to climb past the waterfall while on rope and hardly get wet.
An evening pause: A song based on the 15th century poem by St. John of the Cross (San Juan de la Cruz).
Upon a darkened night
the flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern bright
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
Full lyrics here.
An evening pause: Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin sing “Move On” from Steven Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George.
Stop worrying where you’re going.
Move on.
If you can know where you’re going,
You’ve gone.
Just keep moving on.
I chose and my world was shaken.
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not.
You have to move on.
An evening pause: Kate & Anna McGarrigle – Talk to me of Mendocino
I bid farewell to the state of ol’ New York,
My home away from home.
In the state of New York I came of age
when first I started roaming.
An evening pause: I know this was the song from yesterday’s evening pause, but I found both performances to be so nicely done that I wanted to share them both.
An evening pause: On the ides of March, why not watch Marlon Brando at his best, as Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar (1953).
An evening pause: The music is beautiful, but the images tell us how far astronomy has changed our perception of the universe in the last few decades.
An evening pause:I had played this video as an evening pause back in November, when I thought the last mission of the space shuttle Discovery would be launched. Now that it has finally landed, completing its final mission, I think worthwhile to once again go back in time and watch a film of the shuttle’s maiden flight, launched August 30, 1984, narrated by the astronauts themselves. Note that the female astronaut on this flight is Judith Resnik, who died a little over a year and a half later in the Challenger accident.
