BOOK OF THE WEEK
This is a nice little book that might inspire you to live up to your true nature.
The Hero Code (2021)
By Admiral William H. McRaven
THE HERO CODE is Admiral McRaven’s ringing tribute to the real, everyday heroes he’s met over the years, from battlefields to hospitals to college campuses, who are doing their part to save the world. (Source: Book itself)
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
I’m doing my best on this blog to try to be non-political, since I have no desire to offend half my audience, unlike a number of major US corporations that feel they can do nicely with half their customers. Let’s see how that works out for those corporations.
I was unsuccessful watching a movie or show that I could recommend to you folks, so I would suggest that any show or podcast you can find with one or especially both these individuals will be well worth watching. They are funny and yet make a good deal of sense.
Tyrus & Kat
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Some good advice in this song, such as “It’s not having what you want, it’s having what you got.”
Soak Up The Sun
By Sheryl Crow
ART OF THE WEEK
Shadow Art
Shadow art is a unique form of sculptural art where the 2D shadows cast by a 3D sculpture are essential for the artistic effect.
And you can add images to the shadow
EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK
Detroit Police Chief Craig
and
The Citizens of Detroit
Detroit has gone through some difficult times over the years and knows something about violence. I spent the entire 1967 riots a few blocks from Woodward and Grand Blvd at Pallister St.
Over the years it has been hard to believe one day Detroit would be the example of reason and responsibility, but I believe it is. The credit goes to Detroit Police Chief Craig and The Citizens of Detroit.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig is responding to comments from US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) made in the wake of the Daunte Wright death at the hands of a white police officer in Brooklyn Center Minnesota.
Craig minced no words addressing Tlaib’s original tweet calling for the end of policing and incarceration. Her remarks were in response to Officer Kim Potter’s shooting and killing of Wright, 20.
Tlaib’s original tweet on Monday said:
“It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government-funded murder. No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”

JOKE OF THE WEEK
PHYSICAL TRAITS
I didn’t think I was that well prepared for my last contest on March 14, so I added an extra day to my training (four days a week now) and spending two to three hours each training session.
AAPF NATIONALS
I’ll know May 2, if my hard work will get me to where I want to be for this contest. Regardless, it is going to be a great experience.
I strongly recommend strength training, regardless of your age–I’m 74.
Strength training not only adds life to your years, but years to your life.

SOCIAL TRAITS
Economic Systems
