Trying a larger image format
I've been unhappy with the 600 pixel width I've been using for the images here and am now going to try using a width of 700 pixels, a little narrower than the header image (now removed).
Also I want to tighten up the page headers to get the whole image displayed above the fold. I think that would make much better looking page.

More Toward Realism than Fantasy
I've always been drawn more toward realism than fantasy, because it seems to me that realism is endlessly interesting and finally indeterminable. Realism is a species of fantasy that's much more integrated and hard-core than fantasy itself, but if you are ready to come to grips with the inevitable slipperiness of most available facts, you come to recognize that realism is not a direct approach to the truth so much as it is the most concentrated form of fantasy.
