Richard Price could be known for many things. Among other things, he’s a talented singer; an accomplished portrait photographer; a home brewer of beers, ciders, and wines; an experienced electrotechnologist in genetics; a green thumb; a do-it-yourselfer and traditionalist.

My columns usually focus on doom and damnation. You know—end-of-the-world stuff. That’s because it is the end of the world. Or at least, as R.E.M. put it in 1987, “the end of the world as we know it.” Last week I wrote about the global food crisis. We are all painfully aware of the energy crisis and the lessons it has taught us about economic and environmental interconnectivity.

London’s Daily Mail reported in April that the Mab Lane Primary school in Liverpool was boldly dealing with the problem of unruly students by scheduling 20-minute massage sessions twice a week in a room with aromatic oils and soothing music. Children of all ages at the school are taught “simple shoulder and back massages on each other,” the newspaper reported.

One of my close friends is a guy called Ged Gray. Born, bred, and still living in Manchester, England. He is—in my eyes—what the great, mad Englishman should be. Decked in his collared Fred Perry and flashing two fingers, he’s a soccer fanatic who works at BBC radio and is an unrepentant, albeit aging, punk rocker. He knows more than a thing or two about music and he takes it maybe as seriously as I do. There’s one band that makes him—as he might say—completely mental.

Sitting on my front porch sipping a glass of wine on one of the first truly spring evenings of the season, I find myself staring in amazement. No, I’m not looking at the beautiful sunset or anything hokey like that, I’m contemplating a tiny chive plant that has survived yet another difficult Buffalo winter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Seems you’re pushing to learn all you can from places and ideas you barely even knew existed a few months ago. Your experiments continue to provide such valuable lessons that you’d rather not wrap them up yet. That’s fine. No rush. Take your time. We here at the Grind will welcome you back anytime you’re ready. We completely understand if you want to stay out there on a limb until you’re absolutely sure that the butterfly won’t have any reason to try changing back into a caterpillar.

Last summer I attended my cousin’s wedding, and I arranged for the newlyweds to receive a gift—dinner and nice champagne—on their honeymoon. I’m pretty sure they got it, but I don’t know if they understood that it came from me: Everyone else has received a thank-you note and I have not.
