The Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans was fascinating but sad at the same time. The different display of fish and other life was fascinating. As far as I could tell there were fish who lived in the ocean and also in the Gulf. There were an amazing variety of life in these aquariums. But in one display there was, at least, one seal and I felt bad for the seal. It was enclosed and could not roam as a wild seal. It did not seem very happy and all kinds of people were gawking at it. There might have been a second seal in that cage but I no longer remember if there was. The aquarium was not that big for it. The seal ought to be free and wild. It just made me sad.

I am not my diagnosis. I could state it but it does not matter. I am a man who loves all kinds of music, writes poetry, letters and other things. I love nature particularly the birds I attract with all my feeders. I am married to a woman I love who is not quite the same but loves a lot of the same things particularly music from the same era. She is not perfect but close. We both love to read and I have more books in my house that I ever had before. She loves mysteries. I don’t. But our tastes in books and music is very eclectic. Music and books are all over the house. She usually lets me be. I am not as good as her in that regard and sometimes have to learn to be quiet. We have our own space in our house. I love the mountains, the lakes and ocean. So does she. We live on the edge of country. I am all these things and more. I am not my diagnosis I have to state again. That is just an artificial artifact. The doctors need that and my insurance. That is the only purpose of my diagnosis. It is not me.
