“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.” ― from TO THE LIGHTHOUSE By Virginia Woolf, 1927

也許2006年,昆山科技大學的陳長仁老師約我一起去越南、柬埔寨。還可付點鐘點費。我當時做對決定:一起去吳哥窟---他雖然去過一次,還是答應我的請求,
到柬埔寨參觀吳哥窟(Angkor Wat)的十二世紀遺跡。
後來我寫文章感謝他:
陳長仁:越南近悅遠來
非常感謝陳老師:唯一一次出國是:和陳長仁老師到越南和寮國的吳哥pilgrim ( ━━ n.巡禮[放浪・旅行]者 )。用來遠橋代表今年最熱門的越南: 「美麗的國土……殿的門楣上方有一禦賜匾額,紅底中文燙金大字寫著"來遠橋",門的兩側用中文題了一副對聯:"屹然砥柱中流立,由此雲衢萬里通",想必是取"遠道而來,安身興業"之意。..」.後來,我知道吳哥窟之行,讓梅貽寶先生覺得不虛此生…..(梅貽寶(1900—1997)說:「她是『全人』(丈夫子女俱全)」,戚族中婚喪嫁娶,都要她到場,以保無虞。---梅貽寶《大學教育五十年--八十自傳》(台北:聯經,1986增訂版,頁77)。我讀此書,知道梅先生有吳哥窟的詳細筆,此行讓梅貽寶先生覺得不虛此生…..)……

每天有許多訂閱的"英雄"之粉絲文章報到。其中最精彩的是音樂家Bernstein。今天才知道他"只"活了72歲。查Wikipedia:
"He announced his retirement from conducting on October 9, 1990,[43] and died of a heart attack five days later. He was 72 years old.[2] A longtime heavy smoker, he had battled emphysema from his mid-50s. On the day of his funeral procession through the streets of Manhattan, construction workers removed their hats and waved, yelling "Goodbye, Lenny."[44]"

".......放手讓國民黨清黨產當然不可行,因為根本做不到。洪秀柱說,國民黨要把現有財產扣除負債後,再留下必要的黨務運作、辦公廳舍與黨工退休基金後全數捐出。問題是,什麼叫現有財產?類似救國團婦聯會這些黨的附隨組織算不算?而你這些年來不斷花錢新成立的基金會也在列嗎?從意識到政黨即將輪替開始,不斷傳出的黨產私人化問題、借名登記問題,如此暗度陳倉,讓少數人吃香喝辣,還裝得可憐兮兮被逼得捐家產,你當全台灣人民都傻了嗎?
1993年,當時的國民黨中央投資公司總經理劉維琪在一場公開演講會中表示,國民黨黨營事業累積了9639億餘元的總資產。而前天,國民黨的秘書長莫天虎引用國民黨行管會的資料,宣稱黨產淨值只剩166億元,扣除人事成本與必要的辦公廳舍,只剩21億元可以捐出。才23年,9千多億的資產揮霍殆盡,你不會好奇這過程中有多少人謀不臧,以及涉及哪些貪污、背信、侵占的不堪情事嗎?
洪秀柱說,通過《不當黨產處理條例》是燃起腥風血雨與白色恐怖。這說法刻意把黨產問題導向藍綠對立,但卻不是事實。因為黨產,讓國民黨爭權奪利,失去黨德黨魂;也因為黨產,讓這個政黨不接地……

1. 以往時瑋生日時,常會自酬新詩一首。今年還沒看到。我翻過Thomas Hardy 的詩全集,至少十來首有日期--新年等等。
2. 金台塗上芝麻醬等幾層,我很多年沒出過這樣講究的"吐司"。
3. 所謂的理財員,就是要多賺傭金的。很掃興。
4. 管理員高個身影, 望斷候車亭.......原來,那班車是45分,而他還要幹15分,下一班呢?也許15分或者30分。很掙扎。
5. 翻讀過漢寶德先生2001 (65歲)/2012和吳靜吉先生的回憶錄2018 (80歲)。兩位都是台灣名壬,都幹過不少重要藝術等基金會的董事,都"多才多藝",然而,山東人和宜蘭人畢竟不同.......
