Good Morning Bainbridge

Good Morning. Sometimes, one finds a treasure along the way. At first, it appears quite small. Then, with careful reconsideration, it’s discovered that its value exceeds what could have been imagined. Mr. Bainbridge Crist created 186 works in 260 publications in 3 languages. With faithful expectation, I will assume that I’m not the only one…

These Four Seasons

Hundreds of millions of views; a hint at the impossible to imagine numbers of listens throughout its entire existence. An aristocratic inheritance that many of us should be encouraged to claim. Even if it only serves as a temporary respite from the democratic plagues we’ve suffered through, have been subject to and forced to accept as…

Better Off Stupid?

Maybe it’s a good thing, how ignorant we’ve become. Otherwise, we’d be mortified over the seemingly trivial things that we allow and accept. Undignified things such as a world ‘leader’ airing his alleged grievances and name calling like an unsophisticated pre teen via public social online media.

Good Night Mr. Meehan

I’m writing this because there is a greater than good chance that Thomas Meehan’s passing will be overshadowed by the passing of celebrity icon Jerry Lewis. I’m doing my best to not let that happen..over in my corner of the world anyway. He wrote the books which spawned at least three legendary Broadway musicals-“Annie”, “The Producers” and “Hairspray”.…

Today is Senior Citizen’s Day

If you didn’t have the chance to make it special for someone today, here’s a sweet rain check  to bless him or her with this upcoming weekend. Sweet massage recipe How to give a foot massage photo by Jeanette Dietl

Our Tantrums and Hypocrisy

Recently, a horror show of disrespect, hate and hysteria  happened in Virginia. I am  angry and disheartened as I’m reminded of the massive amount of hypocrisy involved. The hypocrisy we insist on ignoring yet still manage to wear  as a shabby coverall. With statues of one murdering bastard Info on Sherman   after another murdering…
