Day 159 of 365.
This is the detail on a page of an Armenian Manuscript Bible, circa 1121 A.D. This is just one of several interesting things I handle in my job at the University of Charleston archives. I'm photographing and scanning photographs and documents for our digital library collection.

The University of Charleston crew team was just setting out on the river when I arrived at U of C this morning.

Day 36 of 365.
I was hard pressed to choose between this photo and this photo to post to today. However, the light of knowledge won out. Sometimes, you just have to throw down some knowledge.
My body's throwing down some knowledge today - it's letting me know that staying up too late to watch the Men's Figure skating event at the Olympics last night was a very poor idea, the first in a long string of bad choices. The lack of sleep led to a need for caffeine in the morning when I arrived at the dingy Ivory tower; the need for caffeine led me to a desperate purchase at the Starbucks kiosk; the desperate purchase led to gut rot that has plagued me all day. Everyone knows that I hate Starbucks' coffee, "the coffee that tastes like burning", I say, paraphrasing the Simpsons. So I think I have to go off coffee permanently with the exception of a nice cup for enjoyment now and then. I don't ever want to be so desperate again that I'll give in and buy Starbucks' coffee.
Old, old, I'm growing old. I don't (yet) wear my trousers rolled.
However, sunlight today! Hallelujah!

Day 22 of 365.
While we wait for Snowmageddon to arrive, it hasn't been much fun to shoot photos outside. Such nasty, cold, icy rain.
