Leonard Cohen at MEN Arena

I was delighted to find I'd been quoted as a fan review on this site. My praise was barely enough but I am pleased it was communicated to a wider audience. Thank you.

February's Links

I play this...game in the wee dark days before Christmas that as the light fades it's really February and five o'clock. It helps somehow to foreshadow the lengthening days. Speaking of shadows, it's Groundhog Day and my cat saw her shadow - on the snow.

Links? Here's the first one:
