...when noting that a friend's wedding will be on 2/22, how June the 6th. will be written numerically this year--whether the British way or the U.S. way!
Jackie, I don't get it. Can you splain me?

Nyctophobia
Or racism.
I meant the former not the latter.
Omnis cum in tenebris pręsertim vita laboret.
Nam veluti pueri trepidant atque monia cęcis
in tenebris metuunt, sic nos in luce timemus
interdum, nihilo quę sunt metuenda magis quam
quę pueri in tenebris pavitant finguntque futura.
Hunc igitur terrorem animi tenebrasque necessest
non radii solis neque lucida tela diei
discutiant, sed naturae species ratioque.
(Lucretius. de rerum natura)
The whole of life but labours in the dark.
For just as children tremble and fear all
In the viewless dark, so even we at times
Dread in the light so many things that be
No whit more fearsome than what children feign,
Shuddering, will be upon them in the dark.
This terror, then, this darkness of the mind,
Not sunrise with its flaring spokes of light,
Nor glittering arrows of morning can disperse,
But only Nature's aspect and her law.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
