Sweetness
If you plotted two dots on an axis using the formula y=2x + 2 and then, connected them, you would initiate a line that anticipated all the other dots which that formula would dictate from here into eternity. --Amor Towles, A WHIMSY OF THE WORLD
I recently learned that the bank of 800 toll free numbers is at full capacity, so the phone companies have come up with a new Toll Free 3-digit code of 888. I guess that will take some time to get used to.
Alan and I saw a movie that was right up my alley. It was a dramatic horror, romantic thriller starring Julia Roberts as MARY REILLY, a housemaid, who falls in love with Dr. Henry Jekyll (John Malkovich) and his mysterious counterpart, Mr. Edward Hyde.
Carrie Freiman sent me a delightful thank you card this week (sweetness!). She wrote:
I am very glad that you are part of my life because you are very important to me. You are a great person and are always there when I need you. Thank you for celebrating my Bat Mitzvah with me. Thank you for all the gifts. I love the postcards and the sculpture of the Torah books. I love them. I love you very much.
Love Carrie.
P.S. I hope your collection of Barbie dolls gets bigger.
I heard in the news that they recently photographed the first-ever surface photos of the planet PLUTO thanks to the Hubble Space telescope.
There’s a movie called FARGO out that I am not interested in seeing; however, Alan and I did see a funny one called THE BIRDCAGE, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. It was quite hilarious. We loved it!
I am still drawn in by that song by OASIS called WONDERWALL. It is pure ‘sweetness’.
“Who can explain it? ...Suddenly, I thought: THIS IS WHERE I BELONG. And what an extraordinary revelation that is, my dear, as you will no doubt discover in your own time. But even as I was coming to this conclusion, I had the awareness that my wanderlust had left me...” --Amor Towles, A WHIMSY OF THE WORLD
