Not much accomplished yesterday except that I finally got the board for hanging canoe paddles set up. They look nice hanging in front of the wood-panelled wall in the Troll's Lair, except the plastic ones at the ends kind of detract from the look. But they need to be hung up too; the canoing books all say that hanging is the only way to store them without the risk of warping.

I'm going to need to refinish my wooden paddles this winter. The varnish on the edges of the blades is wearing away and water is starting to get into the wood.

I knew about Tolkien, but I didn't know about Yeats and I'd never have dreamed of Longfellow, though knowing it makes perfect sense of the meter of the poem--just the thing for that vowel-heavy syllable-heavy language.

Now, did you know that about a year ago, East Timor chose Finnish as its national language?
