A collection of 300 aphorisms on life and the way you should live, Balthasar Gracian’s work has been used as a modern day guide to life much in the way that Sun Tzu’s Art of War or Machiavelli’s The Prince has.

My brother Jeff has recently started a photo blog. He is a fine artist in Long Beach, California, and I’m happy that he’s now making some of his photos available to view online. The blog also includes some of his reflections on his photos.
Visit jeffrau.com to reach The Jeff Rau Art and Photo Blog. I think you’ll enjoy it. Jeff’s strength and fascination is with what he calls urban textiles. Also, I have always loved his photos from the cool Long Beach music scene.
Finally, congratulations to Jeff for being accepted to a Masters of Fine Arts program! He’ll start in January. Very cool.

Of old cats and nicknames
Posted by Jessica on Nov 7th, 2007
Britain has died. So has Brutus. And Britty Cakes. One in the same, this 18 year-old cat of Adam’s adolescence has passed on to the great wide scratching pole in the sky. Named Britain in the peak of Adam’s Anglophile stage, Adam’s mom took to calling the prissy, aloof cat Britty. To offset the boy cat’s cutesy name, Adam’s dad called him Brutus.
When Adam and I were dating, I walked into his parents’ dining room to see his mom nuzzling the fluff-ball cooing, “awww Britty Caaaaakes…. you the momma’s boooooy…. yes you are…. you the momma’s boooooy, Britty Caaaaaaakes.”
How could I resist? I grabbed onto Adam and began cooing, “awww Addy Caaaaakes…. you the Jessi’s boooooy…. yes you are…. you the Jessi’s boooooy, Addy Caaaaaaakes.”
Thus, to this day, my beloved husband is Addy Cakes, or Cakers, sometimes Mr. Cakes, or simply just Cakes. And I am Jessi Cakes, Mrs. Cakes, and so on… which is funny because as a little girl, my dad called me Cakes too. I guess I’m just destined to be Cakes.
So here’s to Britty Cakes… he was a surly, old cat but loved all the same.
