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.

A Visit to Down Under, Sorta
Last week "She" and I checked out the new exhibit at the National Aquarium. It's an attempt to recreate on a small scale some of the habitats of Australia's Northern Territories ["Territory" sorry]. It was interesting, even though far too many aspects of the programming and exhibits are geared to pre-teens. I'd recommend it to any visitors to the Washington/Baltimore area.
One interesting thing -- many of the opening day visitors were Pennsylvania Dutch, dressed in traditional garb.
Note: the time stamp is wrong -- I just got a new camera and am still fooling with the controls.
