"If any musician can look death in the eye and smile, it's California-based songwriter extraordinaire Warren Zevon."
From April 7, 2003:
April is Math Awareness Month.
This year's theme is "mathematics and art."
From an entry yesterday on looking death in the eye and smiling:
Such serenity "is indestructible and only increases with age and nearness to death. It is the secret of beauty and the real substance of all art."
From an entry earlier today on a circle of souls in the sun:
"they lovingly welcome two more into their company."

Sir Terry Frost Dies
A noted English abstract painter died at 87 on Monday, September 1. From a memorial essay on Sir Terry Frost, born in 1915, in The Daily Telegraph:
“He was educated at Leamington Spa Central School where he edited the art magazine, but left at 15 to work….” His first jobs included, the Telegraph says, painting “the red, white and blue targets on to fighter planes.”
The “target” the Telegraph refers to
is known as the Royal Air Force Roundel.
It may indeed have functioned as a target, but it was originally intended only as a distinctive identifying mark.
Some of Frost’s later work may be viewed at the British Government Art Collection. For some of Frost’s work more closely related to his early “target” theme, see the Badcock’s Gallery site.
