An Unexpected Pleasure
Nature treated us to a lightning show last night as a brief but hard rain passed through Seattle. An unexpected pleasure, the storm peaked just after midnight.

"Our modern term 'charm' comes from the Latin for song, ...carmen, which was taken in turn from the Greek charma meaning 'source of joy'... But it was also from this word that the Greeks derived the word charme. In modern English charme best translates as 'combat'. All of which makes one wonder...if Shakespeare was aware of this when he had Macbeth, shortly before he is killed by Macduff, coin the term 'charmed life.'" - Nic Kelman, Girls: A Paean
