[00:52] PaB Listener: Archmage Atlantis's current display-name is "Arch".
[00:58] Archmage Atlantis: Hello sister * Wol
[00:58] Wol Euler: good morning, brother Arch.
[00:58] Wol Euler: happy birthday!
[00:58] Archmage Atlantis: TY
[00:58] Archmage Atlantis: 0
[00:58] Archmage Atlantis: 60 today
[00:58] Wol Euler smiles.
[00:58] Archmage Atlantis: pls claim the log
[00:59] Archmage Atlantis: I only took it as a precaution
[00:59] Wol Euler: sure
[01:00] Wol Euler: so, how does it feel to be 60?
[01:00] Archmage Atlantis: A lot like being 59
[01:00] Wol Euler: heheheh
[01:01] Archmage Atlantis: And, thank the ....., a lot lie being 16
[01:01] Wol Euler nods.
[01:01] Archmage Atlantis: Beginning to see
[01:01] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:01] Wol Euler: it's a life-long project
[01:02] Archmage Atlantis: Apparently true
[01:02] Wol Euler: my mother says "I don't *feel* 78, not inside"
[01:02] Wol Euler: and I certainly don't feel 53
[01:03] Wol Euler: except physically sometimes, when my shoulder hurts
[01:03] Archmage Atlantis: You are lucky to have your Mom.....
[01:03] Wol Euler nods.
[01:03] Archmage Atlantis: In this reality I mean..........I still have mine also, just in another place than this earth
[01:04] Wol Euler: mmhmm
[01:04] Wol Euler: those we love stay with us, in us
[01:04] Wol Euler: their effect lasts
[01:04] Archmage Atlantis: agree
[01:05] Archmage Atlantis: the thoughts past that are theology
[01:05] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:05] Archmage Atlantis: :) back at ya
[01:07] Wol Euler: I hope you like chocolate cake :)
[01:07] Archmage Atlantis: ty
[01:08] Wol Euler: ((there is an eating gesture in it, but no fork :)
[01:08] Archmage Atlantis: So the day begins.......Namaste, Zon
[01:09] Wol Euler: how's the weather? there were reports of a terrific storm on its way up the Gulf
[01:09] Wol Euler: 20 inches of rain forecast O.O
[01:12] PaB Listener: Santoshima Resident's current display-name is "Santoshima".
[01:12] Wol Euler: hello santo
[01:12] Archmage Atlantis: Going toward Mexico.......distance wise, that's like me being in Finland and the storm being in Spain
[01:12] Santoshima Resident: hello wol, arch
[01:13] Archmage Atlantis: Hello Santoshima
[01:13] Santoshima Resident: thank you, wol, cake ! just the thing
[01:13] Wol Euler: it's Arch's birthday!
[01:14] Santoshima Resident: ahhh! happy birthday arch!
[01:14] Wol Euler: wrong one, use this second item instead :)
[01:14] Santoshima Resident: ok, delish
[01:14] Archmage Atlantis: Ok, Wol, I'm not a lady, but being 60 is still a major b'day
[01:14] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:14] Wol Euler: of course
[01:16] Archmage Atlantis: And I'm not sure how I go this fish.....
[01:16] Santoshima Resident: a birthday koi? just appeared?
[01:16] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:17] Archmage Atlantis: Changing from Phoenix to Firestorm doesn't quite give all the clues an elderly man needs
[01:19] Wol Euler: yeah, I can see that. Very few programs do actually
[01:19] Wol Euler: it's assumed that we all have the time, knowledge and background information to read a 60 page PDF manual
[01:19] Wol Euler: (if there is one at all)
[01:20] Archmage Atlantis: The really troubling thing about getting older is that I can never have the quickness of a pre-sixteen yo
[01:20] Wol Euler nods.
[01:20] Wol Euler: to be honest I felt that already at 20, looking at the Olympic gymnasts :)
[01:20] Wol Euler: thinking "I'm already too old for this"
[01:21] Wol Euler: do you remember Nadia Komaneche? was she perhaps the first teenage olympian?`
[01:21] Santoshima Resident: oh, Nadia, my hero ...
[01:21] Archmage Atlantis: Not "too old", .....just not as fast
[01:22] Zon Kwan: hey all
[01:22] Wol Euler: hello zon
[01:22] Archmage Atlantis: Cell phones were a challenge for me, back in the day
[01:23] Wol Euler: it's Arch#s birthday :)
[01:23] Santoshima Resident: hello Zon
[01:23] Zon Kwan: ah..happy birthday to you
[01:23] Archmage Atlantis: In rl
[01:23] Archmage Atlantis: ty
[01:24] Archmage Atlantis: One good thing is that, when I get put in senior groups, I am the youngest one
[01:24] Wol Euler: hehehe
[01:25] Archmage Atlantis: The moving hand writes, and having writ, moves on
[01:25] Wol Euler: :)
[01:26] Wol Euler: but the wall is long ...
[01:26] Archmage Atlantis: Ok, if I have to outquote.....I cite Einsteing
[01:27] Archmage Atlantis: The younger dumber brother
[01:27] Archmage Atlantis: E=MC in a square danc
[01:28] Zon Kwan: dancer dancing... yes
[01:33] Archmage Atlantis: In the texts I have read there is a story
[01:34] Archmage Atlantis: It is a story of a prodigal child
[01:34] Archmage Atlantis: who comes home
[01:34] Archmage Atlantis: after seeing what is "out there"
[01:35] Archmage Atlantis: And brings that information home to the family
[01:35] Archmage Atlantis: There is also a sibling who is jealous
[01:36] Archmage Atlantis: Who resents that the parent celebrates the return of the prodical child
[01:36] Wol Euler nods.
[01:36] Archmage Atlantis: And fails to hear
[01:37] Archmage Atlantis: that the parent's love is equally given to both
[01:37] Archmage Atlantis: one for staying
[01:37] Archmage Atlantis: and one for going
[01:38] Archmage Atlantis: Life is many things
[01:39] Zon Kwan: a journey of getting there...and back again
[01:40] Wol Euler nods.
[01:41] Wol Euler: I always liked that story
[01:42] Wol Euler: there's a great early-modern painting of it in the Staatsgalerie
[01:42] Wol Euler: (local art museum)
[01:42] Wol Euler: er, local instance of distributed National art gallery
[01:43] Wol Euler: most major cities have a branch of it
[01:43] Archmage Atlantis: An Art Library
[01:43] Wol Euler: yes, like that, they swap objects among themselves to show us new (unknown) things
[01:44] Archmage Atlantis: Very human
[01:44] Wol Euler smiles and nods
[01:44] Archmage Atlantis: The exchange of information
[01:47] Zon Kwan: how does the painting lint to the story ?
[01:47] Zon Kwan: link
[01:47] Wol Euler: the painting depicts that story :)
[01:47] Santoshima Resident: is it the rembrandt?
[01:48] Wol Euler: it's a tryptich: left, his life in luxury and swinish enjoyment :)
[01:48] Wol Euler: middle, literally in a pigpen, in rags eating garbage
[01:48] Wol Euler: right, returning home in rags and sorrow, to be greeted with delight by his father
[01:48] Wol Euler: no, a modern-ish german painter, probably 1900 to 1915 by the style
[01:49] Santoshima Resident: hmm
[01:49] Wol Euler: but it has been painted hundreds if not thousands of times
[01:49] Wol Euler: and probably by Rembrandt too
[01:50] Santoshima Resident: yes, rich theme
[01:51] Wol Euler: http://www.google.de/search?q=prodig...w=1089&bih=896
[01:52] Zon Kwan: is rembrant painting himself as prodical son in tavern ?
[01:52] Archmage Atlantis: For me, the fact that the father embraces both sons is important.....that the sons conflict is the tragedy.
[01:53] Wol Euler nods.
(Wol posts long link then apologizes [long link removed])

[01:53] Santoshima Resident: http://www.rembrandtpainting.net/rem...digal_son.html
[01:54] Wol Euler: ty santo, much better :)
[01:54] Santoshima Resident: :)
[01:54] Santoshima Resident: sorry zon, not sure what your question meant?
[01:55] Zon Kwan: in wols link there was a picture
[01:55] Zon Kwan: of prodical son in tavern
[01:55] Santoshima Resident: oh
[01:55] Zon Kwan: it looked like rembrant
[01:55] Archmage Atlantis: A link, for me, is never ugly.....it may be less efficient
[01:56] Zon Kwan: but i can be mistaken
[01:56] Wol Euler: oh those were not all rembrandt, that was just searchnig for "prodigal son"
[01:56] Wol Euler: many different artists
[01:56] Archmage Atlantis: The road is not always efficient
[01:56] Santoshima Resident: true, arxh
[01:56] Santoshima Resident: arh
[01:56] Wol Euler: true arch, and also not always the prettiest way
[01:56] Santoshima Resident: arch
[01:56] Santoshima Resident: !
[01:56] Wol Euler: :)
[01:57] Archmage Atlantis: prodical links, perhaps
[01:57] Wol Euler: :)
[01:59] Wol Euler: http://digikat.staatsgalerie.de/detailansichtSG.htm <- this is "ours", in the Stuttgart Staatsgalerie
[02:01] Archmage Atlantis: Time is ending...Zon does not have e's answer
[02:02] Archmage Atlantis: Who knew 90 seconds can be eternity
[02:02] Wol Euler smiles.
[02:02] Archmage Atlantis: Blessings and Namaste
