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.

Coffeeshop Culture Comes to Dutch Country
There have been two attempts now to establish a coffee shop in the village near where I live in deep rural Pennsylvania. The first failed in less than a year. The second has now been open for a few months and may make it. I certainly hope so. Their cinnamon buns and sauerkraut are tasty, mmm.... Here are a couple of interior shots of the place. Not quite the same ambiance as in the urban coffee-shops I normally frequent, and not quite the same customer base. While I was there a woman came in to ask if they had ever heard of a thing called "chai" and if so, what was it. They don't even have wi-fi, but even so I'll be back..., for the cinnamon buns and sauerkraut [served separately, of course].
