But for the meantime, I would like to explore another notion: how the aging process, whereby the mind loses its agility, actually serves an important physiological and pyschological function.

A year with Marina
Exactly one year ago to the day, on May 3rd 2005 at 13:05, Marina came into my life. I first set eyes on her at 13:30. It is amazing to see how quickly time passes by and how new life comes into the world to become so important to those who surround that new life.
Happy Birthday, my Goddaughter!
