To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Our Hero
She Who Must Not Be Named" and I just learned that our nephew, Tom, is leaving for Iraq with the Screaming Eagles in a few hours. This is his second tour of duty there, and his third in the Middle East. Just a few days ago he and his wife, Wendy, had their third child, Reaghan. This post is a small attempt to tell the world just how very happy and proud they have made us all.
I intended to post a picture of the young warrior and his family, but they are all on a CD many miles from here. As soon as I get them I'll put a few online.
Thanks Tom -- God be with you....
UPDATE: Tom's father sent me this pic. It's an old one from his last tour in Iraq. He's been promoted since then.
