This New Chapter
Welcome! This is an update of the original "post" here, but I want to let you know that "captchas" (those odd numbers and letters we have to decipher to prove we're not robots) are back. Some apparently real comments were being lost amidst a flurry of automatic things that were hidden from my view. The non captcha days didn't last long here, did they?! I hope your glasses are all up to date!

Shall We Chat?
This room looks a bit elegant for a monastery parlor, do you think?
The truth is that the first monastery parlor I ever entered was not unlike this scene. Remove the chandelier, dial the opulence down half a notch, and we're left with a room that's amazingly similar to the one I was ushered into when I was seventeen.
I was then a prospective boarding school student at an Academy run by semi-cloistered nuns. The students' classrooms and dorms were not so elegant, and the Sisters' cloister (as I would see years later) was really quite plain. But visitors were treated to an elegant welcome in velvet-draperied parlors.
It is now many years later, and I, for one, look upon this room with a touch of nostalgia. I also find its painted chairs appealing. They look just right for a few minutes of online visiting.
Shall we chat?
