"Today is for celebration but starting tomorrow I humbly urge you to embark on a lifelong relationship with a faithful companion who will always help you and sometimes delight you -- who will never desert you, who will make you smarter, and wiser, who will always be by your side and enlighten you all the days of your life. I am talking about: books.
You must not stop reading books. That's all. If you seek a happy and interesting life, one of depth, meaning and accomplishment, you must read books." Peggy Noonan, commencement address at Catholic University

Here we are in Dundee, Scotland, formerly manufacturing and industrial, now undergoing a renovation and renewal. Used to employ thousands in jute industry. Yesterday interesting visit to yet another war memorial, and then to a sheep farm to watch the dogs. Cute puppies. Today we see a golf course, extra option for entertainment, stay 2 nights in Edinburgh.
