The Duluth Fall Festival is coming up and it should be fun.
Procrastination
August 31, 2006 at 11:33 pm (Personal)
There are a few important things I’ve been putting off that I really need to get to and I’ve finally made the decision to get them done in the coming week. We’ll see how it goes, but I’ve got to quit being such an excellent procrastinator.

Another great restaurant in Athens, Georgia and one I will gladly return to. One of the best caesar salads I’ve had in ages and the potatoes were perfect and a bit spicy. The paninis are very good but the spinach-artichoke spread alone make them worth trying.
iTunes and AOL/XM Radio are taking some well-deserved rest.
To Athens Again
August 26, 2006 at 9:52 am (Personal)
Off on another Athens trip today. We’ll see at least one of the college kids and have lunch somewhere, hopefully at The Grit (been too long away). Then we’re off to Watkinsville where Anne will get her fix at Main Street Yarns and I’ll get mine at Jittery Joes.
iTunes and AOL/XM Radio are both napping

Organ music ‘instils religious feelings’
By Jonathan Amos
BBC News Online science staff, in Salford
People who experience a sense of spirituality in church may be reacting to the extreme bass sound produced by some organ pipes. Many churches and cathedrals have organ pipes that are so long they emit infrasound which at a frequency lower than 20 Hertz is largely inaudible to the human ear. But in a controlled experiment in which infrasound was pumped into a concert hall, UK scientists found they could instil strange feelings in the audience at will. These included an extreme sense of sorrow, coldness, anxiety and even shivers down the spine.
