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.

Leading a Double Life
Having two homes can be complicated and frustrating at times, but it sure has its compensations. In the city I can walk a short distance from home and be in the midst of the Inner Harbor's numerous attractions. In the mountains I can walk a similar distance and watch horses playing in the field. A friend of ours wrote today to say that he would be traveling south next month and would like to get together. Would we rather he visit us in the city or in the mountains?
Damn!
Decisions..., decisions!
UPDATE: My friend wrote today to clarify -- he would prefer the city. Makes sense; the mountains in January..., brrrrrrr!
