Sunrise is the instant at which the upper edge of the Sun appears above the horizon. Sunrise & sunset are, from one point of view, optical illusions. Objects appear higher in the sky than they are in reality. Sunrise reminds us of our ephemeral life. What we decide to do with each precious capsule of time is of our own choosing. Let it not be said at the end of our day that our perceived value on earth was an optical illusion and our worth appeared to be higher than it was in reality.

SUNRISE - February 3, 2011
"You’re writing the story of your life one moment at a time."
Doc Childre and Howard Martin
Day two with new hearing-aids.
When I departed the parking garage yesterday I noticed this little bell dinging to let pedestrians and bicyclists on the sidewalk near the exit know that a car was about to emerge from the opening. I thought that was pretty cool and a good safety feature.
When I arrived this morning I mentioned it to the the valet guys and asked when had they installed that new feature. With a straight face the young kid looked right at me and said" About seven years ago, sir."
It is like a new adventure every day - in stereo. Now I find myself asking people to tone it down and speak more quietly. Still, it is better than "Say again?" I also find that I hear more than I need to know.
