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.

Mix With the World
I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. . . . I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it led to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.
John Adams
