1.  The sturdy little oak on the corner of Water and James Streets in Lancaster.
2.  Nag champa
3.  Looking for the patterns.  Dendritic agate.
4.  Milk beans and rice.
5.  That interview with Barry Manilow on NPR this morning.  I could hear the wonder creep into his voice when he talked about making music.  After 4 decades.  And he was humble.

Namaste.
