Ten Year Aging Challenge
If you spend much time on social media, you are probably aware of the Ten Year Aging Challenge, where you post a photo of yourself ten years ago and a second recent photo of yourself.
Well, we now have a winner.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
A Short Guide to a Long Life
By David B Agus, MD
This book may be a bit dated, having come out in 2014. And I certainly don’t agree with everything in this book, but it does give you a lot of things to think about and it is easy to read.
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
Season 2 of Victoria is now playing on PBS at 9 p.m. EST on Sundays.
Victoria Season 3
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
By Elton John & Kiki Dee
ART OF THE WEEK
Clothing As Art
Clothing has always been a form of art and one really needs to dress for the occasion. For instance here is a person properly dressed for using a snow thrower.
EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK
Alley Oop
Alley Oop, was a sturdy citizen in the prehistoric kingdom of Moo. He rode his pet dinosaur Dinny, carried a stone war hammer, and wore only a fur loincloth. He would rather fight dinosaurs in the jungle than deal with his fellow countrymen in Moo’s capital and sole cave-town. (Source: Wikipedia)
However, I think the following will give you a far better idea of this extraordinary individual.
Alley Oop

I hate to be a hair-splitter, but isn’t this post a day early? Not that I mind; regardless of the day I always make sure to read (and enjoy) your posts, Bill! 🙂

Perhaps Samantha, because you are my favorite reader; you may have received the “early” edition.

Elton John did a farewell concert in Oakland and I heard it was very moving. Wish I’d been there.

Thank you very much for commenting Georgia. I appreciate you taking the time to do so. The song he did with Kiki Dee is still one of my favorites.

Bill, the Keith Richard joke was funny. Victoria I have watched last season. I am addicted. Love it. Where was the pic taken of the snow? Everyone liked the Alley Oop song. Thanks for a very inlightening blog.

Thanks Darlene for commenting. The T Rex using a snow thrower has been bouncing around Michigan for a little while now. A couple of years ago, I was in a 5K and there was a T Rex also running.
