Ava-tree Jan. 20, 2007

The idea that in having a daughter, Ava, I have started an Ava family tree that could have a cast of thousands and go on for hundreds even thousands of years, well beyond my power… is like looking at the stars in the sky and trying to come to terms with it.

This is if Ava has children and that there is not a disease afflicting her nation, as Aids is to Africa, nor a global disaster wiping away just about everyone. Like global warming too much.

At Gretna today, despite the winds howling a gale, 17 couples got married. I was there for the football. Gretna won 4–1.
