Getting ready for the race. On Labor Day Baltimore will be hosting a formula one event at the Inner Harbor so crews have been busy for the past several months resurfacing and grading all the streets downtown. At times it makes driving near the harbor a nightmare, but since they are also upgrading and repairing water and sewage facilities at the same time, it is for the long-term benefit of those of us who are fortunate enough to live in the neighborhood. As it turns out I will be able to watch the race from my living room. How cool is that?
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.
