I’ve told a couple people already but, honestly, I’m getting old. Last Sunday, at about 6 in the morning, I was walking from Gent Zuid to the Korenmarkt, past the St.-Baafskathedraal, and for a brief moment, I found myself looking up at the beautiful job they’ve done lighting the cathedral in a warm sort of yellow against a backdrop of deep blue near-morning sky. I don’t know what came over me but rest assured, I have never done that before. Next thing you know, I’ll be eating mashed corn and watching Wheel of Fortune. Hmm, I do that already.
