Do you deserve a nostalgic breather? Through the delicate workings of the music box, even the most dramatic compositions seem to play only for you. You’ll hear even a very familiar piece in a whole new way. Courtesy of home recording pioneer Ken Clinger, here’s today’s music box selection.

Featured in Today’s Music Box:

One's life path is marked by crossroads and signposts. If you are confronted with making a choice today, perhaps the signpost displayed here will help to characterize your situation and guide you to make a decision. If you need more guidance, refresh this page for another symbol. If both signs are the same, perhaps any choice will lead to the same outcome.
The signs are inspired by a system of symbols entitled "Spiritual Diagnosis," developed by Dr. Robert McNary of Montana. Dr. McNary actually creates nine-faceted mandala charts for people and interprets the symbols with uncanny accuracy. Dr. McNary's web site is RockyMountainAstrologer.com.

From Prof. Oddfellow's sketchbook:
The text reads: "It's not that we get up on the wrong side of the bed, but rather on the wrong side of the dream. Freud identified the two basic sides of a dream: manifest and latent." |

 Castmembers at Disney's Star Tours attraction can no longer exclaim, "May the Force be with you!" to riders because Jediism (the most common "alternative" faith in the United Kingdom) is a genuine religion, and the blessing is considered equivalent to "Praise the Lord" and "Hare Krishna." To quote comedian Stewart Lee, "it's political correctness gone mad!"
