CURRENT EVENTS
Hopefully Putin’s Invasion Will Backfire
After the Russians were driven out of Bucha, Ukraine, it was terrible what the Ukrainian liberators found. The murder of defenseless civilians by Russian criminals, mass graves, apparently torture, rape, etc.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
How about some lighter reading this week. The Tao of Willie is a fun book to read and provides a great deal of wisdom.
The Tao of Willie
By Willie Nelson with Turk Pipkin
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
Normally, when I see a film I don’t like, I simply don’t mention the film.
However, I feel life is simply too precious for anyone to waste on this 2 hour and 56 minutes of darkness.
If you have seen the film, please comment on what you think of it, whether you liked it or didn’t.
The Batman (2022)
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Keep A-Knockin
By Little Richard
ART OF THE WEEK
Kurt Halsey Paintings
These are some original Kurt Halsey paintings that I acquired around 15 or 20 years ago. I wish I had acquired more.
EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE OF THE WEEK
FRIENDS FROM MY YOUTH
Here is a photo of my friends from my youth. I’m only certain that me and one other fellow are still alive. It is possible that two others are still alive. As for the remaining seven, they have already left the party.

It is enough already, Putin should be put to stop its really sad to see innocents suffering due to greedy leaders.
Friends are the best part of life, really sorry to hear 2 of you remains but we shall all re-unite again with our loved ones someday on the other side of the shore. 🙂🌸
I have to believe someone in Russia will put a stop to the pain Putin is causing the Ukraine and Russian people. Thank you Daphny
I agree with you, not only is Ukraine suffering but also all the innocent souls out there in Russia is due to the greed of their leader. It is heartbreaking and devastating to even think of. You’re welcome, Allen!
I appreciate your comments Daphny
Always a pleasure Allen 😊
Bill, as always, I love the smorgasbord of awesomeness! You manage to provide encouragement, laughs, wisdom, and facts all in one post. Thank you for sparing the time on the movie. And what a nice group of friends you experienced. The quote? Perfect! Stay healthy and blessed dear friend.
Thank you very much Karla for commenting and for your good wishes
You’re so welcome!
Whoa, the Orwell quote gave me chills that started at my shoulders and draped down to my knees.
Have you seen the new Pink Floyd Ukraine protest song? That gave me chills, too.
As I mentioned, I think critical thinking is becoming a lost art and people tend to simply believe anything they are told by the media, liberal or conservative. I was aware of the song. Perhaps, I should listen to it.
I feel like Putin’s getting backed into a dangerous corner and who knows what he’ll do next. I’m worried for everyone over there AND the rest of the world.
In lighter (more inane topics, at least compared to Putin) Batman was VERY depressing, although I like Robert Pattinson a lot. He’s been in other less well-known movies and is a fine actor. IE, even though I hated The Lighthouse, in the end, he was great in that. But yeah…I kinda already forgot what the latest Batman was even about. *sigh*
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.
Sadly the quote about media is so true.
Hope this war comes to an end real, real soon and backfires on Putin and his Army
Thank you for commenting Crystal and so far it looks like Putin made a disastrous decision. Still, it has caused so much suffering for so many. I think Putin will go down in history as being evil.
I loved the new Batman movie even though I found it a little too stretched out at the end.
It’s a good movie but for me, it hasn’t beaten the Dark Night. So far that’s the best batman movie.
Thank you very much for adding your perspective–much appreciated.
This is all so heartbreaking! I pray everyday that it will stop!
Yes Cheryl, absolutely terrible. It is like we have gone back to the days of Hitler.
