Something To Celebrate! 🎈
Absolutely. A great man & a wonderful couple!
I was in the midst of gathering snippets of news upon which to unleash my world-famous snark when I came upon something so heartwarming that it made the snark take a backseat … for now, anyway. What was it, you ask? Yesterday, former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary! I think that is worthy of putting the snark aside and congratulating them! They’ve been married longer than I’ve...

Brittany’s Street Art
Wow! Gorgeous art!
There is probably an interesting conversation to be had regarding the nature of graffiti and public art and another on whether graffiti can still serve as a rebellious expression when it is found on sites approved by the municipal authorities. Does graffiti need to be illegal or subversive to properly wear its tag or is safe street art equally as credible or valid?
This weekend, the capital of my Breton Département of Côtes d’Armor, Saint Brieuc, i...

Achieving inner peace and tranquility
I just had to share this!
Could you use more peace and tranquility in your life?
Of course you could. We all could. That’s why I’m passing along this information.
By following some simple advice I heard on the Dr. Phil show, I found inner peace, and you can too.
Dr. Phil says the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you started but never finished.
So I looked around the house to see what things I’d started and hadn’t finished, and to be honest with yo...

Quotations on Stories
More quotes on stories.
charles french words reading and writing
“There are books full of great writing that don’t have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story… don’t be like the book-snobs who won’t do that. Read sometimes for the words–the language. Don’t be like the play-it-safers who won’t do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.” ...

Tuesday Tunes 52: Revisiting The Sixties
It may take you a few days to get through this, but it’s well worth your time!
It may come as a surprise to you, but I do actually keep notes on what I’ve included in these posts. Whilst I was going through these the other day I came across the list I made last autumn when I was sharing music from the Sixties and Seventies in this series, and was surprised to see how many more I had considered, but not yet shared. You seemed to enjoy these when I did them before, so I thought I mi...

Listen To The Band: The Monkees
So many memories. Damn, The Monkees were even better than I remembered! Well, I was just a kid after all. 11 years old in 1967.
When I began this series last month, with The Beatles, I mentioned that I had, in my usual fashion, ‘borrowed’ the title. It therefore seemed fair that the second post should feature the band whose song gave this new series its name. They aren’t a band who have had a major influence on my musical tastes, but for a couple of years in their heyday they were e...
