MOVIE OF THE WEEK
The Big Sleep (1946)
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Who Wrote The Book of Love (1958)
The Monotones
Lead singer Charles Patrick heard a Pepsodent toothpaste commercial with the line “you’ll wonder where the yellow went”/ when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent”, which inspired him to come up with, “I wonder, wonder, wonder who, who wrote the book of love”. He worked it up into a song with Davis and Malone. The “boom” part of the song was a result of a kid kicking a ball against the garage while they were rehearsing. It sounded good, so they added it to the song. (Source: Wikipedia)
ART OF THE WEEK
Statute of Don Quixote
When I was in Spain back in 2015, I believe this is a photo I took of a statute of Don Quixote. Of course, I may be mistaken.
EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE OF THE WEEK
Judge Kathryn Mizelle
In a 59-page opinion on Monday, the US district judge Kathryn Mizelle of Tampa, Florida, overturned the federal requirement that people wear masks on planes and public transportation.

If you thought Jaws was scary, this is even more so.

The current AAPF National Record for a male between the ages of 75 and 79, who weighs less than 181.7 lbs. is 165 Kg. or 363.7 lbs.
I plan to break this record on May 1; but, I would not bet more on me than you can afford do lose.

The songs quite catchy I should say, and we all need to master how to remain calm I think. 😃
