Those are definitions for a Korean word that repeats in the overexposed "Gangnam Style," one of my favorite words. It's a longer word than usual and includes the word for love and reminds me of melancholia even though it doesn't actually include that in its word stems. I've been sick since Friday night with a cold, probably just going around in the family, but still annoying. The only thing that brought it on was lots of admin and not enough sleep / fresh air. While cooped up, not breathing very efficiently, I combed through my digital images from 2003 forward. WOW.

i hope you are getting better. after all those pictures, your eyes must be so tired. good tired, but wow.

Montello has a passable tavern, and pretty Grouse Creek isn't too far from there, but after living in that part of Nevada for so long, I can't imagine it as retreat worthy (but then, I was scrambling to get out).

I am sure his vision will be incredible--the pictures on his site look great.
Get better soon!
