Dancing in the dark . . .
Saturday, August 23, 2025. It's the Satyr's day . . . Moderate Northerlies bring slight rain chances to TulseyTown today and tonight.

Nothing Is Lost
...Before our world dissolves before our eyes
waiting for some small, intimate reminder,
a word, a tune, a known familiar scent
an echo from the past when, innocent
we looked upon the present with delight
and doubted not the future would be kinder
and never knew the loneliness of night.
– Noel Coward, “Nothing Is Lost,” from Collected Verse of Noel Coward. Graywolf Press, 2007.
